公民科学倡议可能是获得简单数据的一种具有成本效益的方式，特别是在资金或技术能力限制阻碍定期和系统监测的情况下。CoastSnap是一种公民科学方法，有助于使用公众共享的照片分析海岸线变化。为了向未来的项目提供信息，本文件描述了莫桑比克CoastSnap在Covid大流行之前、期间和后面临的项目成就和面临的困难。CoastSnap莫桑比克项目在非洲大陆安装了第一批CoastSnap站，这是在以前几乎没有或根本没有知识的地点收集海滩变化数据的第一次尝试。社区参与度低、当地技术能力有限以及新冠肺炎疫情造成的困难阻碍了该项目发挥其潜力。尽管面临许多挑战，但还是获得了关于当地海滩形态的新知识，确定了值得未来调查的具体问题和地点。从莫桑比克CoastSnap经验中吸取的经验教训可帮助今后的项目查明在面临类似社会经济和技术限制的地点可能遇到的陷阱。
Citizen science initiatives can be a cost-effective way to obtain simple data, particularly where financial or technical capacity constraints prevent regular and systematic monitoring. CoastSnap is a citizen science approach that facilitates the analysis of shoreline changes using photographs shared by the public. To inform future projects, this paper describes project achievements and the difficulties faced by CoastSnap Mozambique pre, during and post-Covid pandemic. The CoastSnap Mozambique project installed the first CoastSnap stations on the African continent, as a first attempt to gather beach change data at sites where little or no previous knowledge was available. Poor community engagement, limited local technical capacity, and the difficulties imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic prevented the project to realize its potential. Despite many challenges, new knowledge was gained about local beach morphology, identifying specific issues and sites warranting future investigation. Lessons learned from the CoastSnap Mozambique experience can help future projects to identify the pitfalls that may be encountered in locations facing similar socioeconomic and technical limitations.
