I will be continuing this work with the assistance of the World Bank, with the goal of developing the framework for monitoring, managing, and accounting for natural assets in the #Maldives

It was a pleasure to present the work we have done towards using #remotesensing to #monitor our #ecosystems During the workshop I noted the need for ongoing #collaboration when moving forward, to minimise duplication of efforts and effectively utilize the available resources

In the #Seychelles to study one of their stunning #beaches. These studies give coastal managers an understanding of the best strategies to sustainably manage their beaches, so that it can be safely enjoyed by all visitors.

If you are interested in hearing about the work that I have been doing and want to ask me questions, please drop by N.Manadhoo island on 28th afternoon. I will be hosting a non-technical discussion about how the data products can be used for decision-making.

It was fantastic to be able to present the work we have been doing with Noonu Atoll Community and show how it can be used practically, to provide the data needed by Atoll and Island councils for effective management of their natural resources

If an island can change like this, so can you. #NewYearNewYou #NewYear2025

We have successfully piloted a low cost, low-power, wide range #communication device. This device will form the backbone of an #IoT network that will allow real-time #monitoring of the #environment with reasonable accuracy, without relying on expensive propriety devices that are

The #reefballs have successfully encouraged the formation of a #beach when there was none before. Over the next few years the material of the reef balls will encourage growth of marine life on it, causing it to blend into the #environment and forming an 'natural' #breakwater

Excited to be leading this project comparing the capabilities of #hyperspectral vs #multispectral for #ocean #monitoring across the #islands of the #Maldives #space4oceans #SIDS

Ever wondered how the height of #OverwaterVillas in #Maldives are determined? The process involves calculating #extreme conditions the villa is likely to face during its designed lifetime and understanding how likely it is for that extreme condition to happen. Analyses like this

A crucial step towards sustainable development. 2030 is not too far away. Hopeful that a concrete plan for Natural Capital Accounting with tangible steps, pragmatic timelines, and relevant in-country capacity building, will be made public soon.

Aftermath of the fire last week in the Addu Eco Garden. 10+ Ha burnt and the fire nearly reached the houses! Regular images can be very helpful to see if/how the area recovers over time.

A figure I came across which shows the rapid decline in #coral compared to other species. Unfortunately, we still do not have an idea of trends in the health of our coral species across Maldives, even though stability of islands depend on them. Source: ipbes.net/global-assessm…

As someone working in the environment field, Maldives 2.0 concept appears to address many of the challenges that were identified in our environmental data sovereignty research x.com/NashwanMatheen… Note: the academic version of the research has passed peer-reviewed and is being

This 'teleporting island' is evidence of the equilibrium that keeps the #islands of #Maldives in place. Small changes to the #waves, #winds, and #waterlevels can cause that equilibrium to shift drastically. As a bonus, this same historical image shows the island on the far right

This image fascinates me! We see an explosion of #seagrass which completely changes the existing #ecosystem. It is no wonder that residents on #islands where this happens sees seagrass as a problem. So is it okay to remove this seagrass? Are they an #invasive species? Does this

The Space4Ocean Alliance with Maldives Space Research Organisation as a founding member, is a key step towards filling in research gaps and improving data products around our oceans. What does this alliance mean for the #Maldives? The best and brightest minds in space technology and ocean science from

With this statement at UNCOPUOS 2025, MSRO affirms the drive to utilize space technology to improve sustainable use of the Maldivian oceans and safe-guard the islands

The successful pilot has paved the way for ELTRES receivers to be deployed on a national-scale. This will be a first step towards implementation of several #operational use cases including real-time #environmental #monitoring using low-cost, easy-to-maintain, #IoT sensors
