Spatial nervous system

Integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Drones (UAVs) into the management of the modern day Kamaole Ahupuaa creates a “Spatial Nervous System” for the land. This allows for data-driven decisions that respect the traditional mauka-to-makai flow utilizing cutting edge precision.
