Tonga to improve national planning with 3D mapping tech LiDAR

Tonga will soon improve its ability to better plan for climate change, protect communities, and safeguard infrastructure and ecosystems with a powerful 3D mapping technology known as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), producing highly accurate, three-dimensional images that capture every ridge, depression, and coastal edge, to form a detailed picture of Tonga's land and coastline.
