Written by Administrator
The Buccoo Reef Trust attended the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure International Conference (GSDI 10) in Port-of-Spain Trinidad. There, the BRT/IWCAM GIS Specialist gave a presentation on 'Developing the National SDI with Local Action: A Multi-Benefit Citizen Science Methodology for Small Island Developing States' in Technical Session 23 - Island Challenges. The core message, based on experiences in Tobago, was that GIS development/ management in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) must incorporate a social component to successfully contribute to building a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) - i.e. the solutions, their relevance to society and the nature of the issues being addressed must be elaborated on with the wider population alongside any technical/ data issues.
