Over six weeks, twelve residents from four coastal groups went through drone operator training: flight regulations, mission planning, and reading basic survey output. All of them passed, and each now runs the monthly monitoring flights at their own site. For the programme, that means lower mobilisation costs. For the groups, it means the data about their own area is produced by them.
