Hello OSM mappers,

It is a pleasure to announce the first mapping task of project #3302 - CARTOCOSTA-URABÁ (Turbo, Colombia) East coast.

It is funded by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) #Microgrant Program.

This Project will enable mapping of coastal wetlands in the Urabá Gulf to help planners and the local fishing community to respond to flooding hazards in the area.

This area is located in Turbo Municipality (Antioquia State, Colombia, Southern Caribbean).

The project will map over 190 km of coastline, including 2-3 km width inland.

Training Mapathons will be held on Thursday 13 and Friday 14 July at Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia.

Remote OSM mappers are welcome to join.

Stay tuned for further mapathons and news.
