The GMIS team has successfully deployed drone technology to map mangrove forests along Guyana's coastline with unprecedented accuracy.

The high-resolution imagery allows researchers to:

  • Identify individual trees and species
  • Detect early signs of forest degradation
  • Monitor restoration progress with centimeter-level precision
  • Create 3D models of forest structure

This technology is transforming how we understand and manage coastal ecosystems.
