Seek funding from government grants, environmental organizations, or international aid agencies. Identify local expertise and partners who can contribute data, technology, and manpower. Convene a visioning workshop to identify specific natural resources of interest, desired level of detail for mapping and survey, and brainstorm future scenarios for resource and land use. Encourage bold and innovative ideas while ensuring alignment with environmental sustainability and cultural values. Define core values for the reimagined resource and land use plan, such as equity, intergenerational fairness, environmental stewardship, and community well-being. These principles will guide decision-making throughout the process. Engage Atoll Council members, island communities, government agencies, resource users (e. g., fishermen, farmers), and NGOs throughout the process to ensure diverse perspectives and local knowledge are integrated. Conduct community-led mapping activities to identify existing resource utilization patterns, land use practices, and areas with potential for sustainable development.
