The M4S Project: Scaling Seagrass Conservation in Timor-Leste through Participatory FOSS Workflows
Honey Fombuena, Dinar Adiatma
The M4S Project leverages a low-barrier FOSS stack to map seagrass in Metinaro, Timor-Leste. By integrating participatory drone imagery and mobile data collection into a community-led workflow, we transition from manual methods to digital baseline mapping, empowering community stewardship to protect marine biodiversity and sustain local livelihoods.
