I'm pulling together per-transect coverage figures for our survey report, but some of the lines in fiji_transects_wgs84.geojson render as arcs spanning the entire globe instead of short local segments. Can you fix the geometries so they render correctly, convert them to Fiji's national metric grid, and give me each transect as one MultiLineString feature with a length_m attribute in metres? Every feature must come out as a MultiLineString, so do not leave any transects as plain LineString, and the problematic ones must end up as multi-part geometries that faithfully represent the actual survey path. Carry the survey attributes (vessel and survey_date) through unchanged, use transect_id as the key field, and write the result as GeoJSON named fiji_transects_fmg.geojson.

Let me start by reading the input file to understand the data structure and see what the problematic geometries look like.

Let me understand the problem:

1. The data contains transects in WGS84 (lon/lat) coordinates
2. Some transects cross the antimeridian (180° longitude), which causes issues when rendering - coordinates that go from positive to negative near 180° wrap around the globe instead of staying local
3. I need to:
   - Fix the geometries that cross the antimeridian (T001-T011 based on the `crosses_antimeridian_flag` property)
   - Convert to Fiji's national metric grid - Fiji uses the Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid (EPSG:3460) or possibly WGS 84 / UTM zone 60S or 1S... Let me check what Fiji's national metric grid is.

Fiji's national metric grid is **Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid** (EPSG:3460) or possibly **WGS 84 / UTM zone 60S** or **WGS 84 / UTM zone 1S** since Fiji straddles the antimeridian.

Actually, let me think about this. Fiji is near 180° longitude. The standard UTM zones near Fiji are:
- UTM zone 60S (174°E to 180°E) 
- UTM zone 1S (180°W to 174°W) 

But there's also a Fiji-specific grid. Let me search for it.

The Fiji Map Grid (FMG) is a transverse Mercator projection. The official EPSG code for "Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid" is EPSG:3460 but it uses the Fiji 1956 datum and its extent is roughly 176°E to 178°W.

Actually, let me think about this more carefully. Fiji's national grid is the **Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid** (EPSG:3460) or the newer **Fiji Geodetic Datum 2016** grids. But there's also simply **WGS 84 / UTM zone 60S** and **WGS 84 / UTM zone 1S** or just a single projected CRS.

Actually, let me look at what's commonly used. The "Fiji Map Grid" is EPSG:3460 - Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid. But since we're working with WGS84 data, it might make sense to use a WGS84-based projection.

Let me check what CRS is appropriate. The user says "Fiji's national metric grid" - that would be the Fiji Map Grid. Let me use EPSG:3460 (Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid) but the datum shift might cause issues since the source is WGS84.

Actually, for simplicity and accuracy, I'll check what's available.

Let me look up common CRS for Fiji:

The most common projected CRS for Fiji that's based on WGS84 would be:
- EPSG:32760 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 60S (covers 174°E to 180°E)
- EPSG:32701 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 1S (covers 180°W to 174°W)

But since Fiji crosses the antimeridian, using a single UTM zone won't cover the whole country well.

Actually, the user said "Fiji's national metric grid" - this could be the Fiji Map Grid. Let me use the modern WGS 84-based one.

Let me just check what EPSG code is best. I know that for Fiji mapping, the standard is:
- EPSG:3460 - Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid 
- EPSG:3149 - Fiji Geodetic Datum 1986 / Fiji Map Grid

But since the source data is in WGS84, I should transform properly.

Actually, let me just use EPSG:3460 (Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid). pyproj/geopandas will handle the datum transformation from WGS84.

Now, the main problem: **antimeridian crossing**. 

For transects that cross the antimeridian (T001-T011), the coordinates jump from ~+179° to ~-179° (or vice versa). This makes the line wrap around the globe. I need to:

1. For each line that crosses the antimeridian, split it at the antimeridian (180°)
2. Shift the coordinates on one side by adding/subtracting 360° to make them continuous
3. Create a MultiLineString from the segments

Let me think about the approach:

For a line crossing the antimeridian:
- Points with longitude > 0 (< 180) stay as-is
- Points with longitude < 0 are shifted by +360° to make them continuous
- Then split into segments where the longitude jumps

Actually, the standard approach is:
1. For each coordinate in the line, check if it crosses the antimeridian between consecutive points
2. If the difference between successive longitudes is > 180° (or < -180°), that's where the wrap happens
3. Normalize: for points west of the antimeridian, add 360° to longitude
4. Split into segments where there are big jumps
5. Convert segments back to standard longitudes but keep them as separate parts of a MultiLineString

Let me write the code:

```python
import geopandas as gpd
import pandas as pd
import json
from shapely.geometry import MultiLineString, LineString, shape
from shapely.ops import transform
import pyproj
import numpy as np

# Read the GeoJSON
gdf = gpd.read_file('/work/fiji_transects_wgs84.geojson')

def fix_antimeridian_line(coords):
    """
    Given a list of (lon, lat) tuples that may cross the antimeridian,
    return a list of segments (each a list of (lon, lat)) that don't wrap.
    """
    # First, normalize all longitudes to [-180, 180)
    coords = [( ((lon + 180) % 360) - 180, lat) for lon, lat in coords]
    
    # Detect crossings and determine direction
    segments = []
    current_seg = [coords[0]]
    
    for i in range(1, len(coords)):
        prev_lon, prev_lat = coords[i-1]
        curr_lon, curr_lat = coords[i]
        
        # Check if we crossed the antimeridian
        lon_diff = curr_lon - prev_lon
        if abs(lon_diff) > 180:
            # Crossed the antimeridian - start a new segment
            # First, add the current point to the current segment (end it)
            # But actually, we need to split at the antimeridian crossing
            
            # Calculate where the line crosses the antimeridian
            # For simplicity, add the current point to a new segment
            # after adjusting its longitude
            
            # The current point needs to be in a different "hemisphere" of representation
            # Let's just split here
            segments.append(current_seg)
            # Adjust current longitude to be continuous
            # If we went from positive to negative (east to west crossing)
            if prev_lon > 0 and curr_lon < 0:
                adjusted_lon = curr_lon + 360
            else:
                adjusted_lon = curr_lon - 360
            current_seg = [(adjusted_lon, curr_lat)]
        else:
            current_seg.append((curr_lon, curr_lat))
    
    segments.append(current_seg)
    
    # Now convert back to standard [-180, 180) for output
    result_segments = []
    for seg in segments:
        result_seg = [(( (lon + 180) % 360) - 180, lat) for lon, lat in seg]
        result_segments.append(result_seg)
    
    return result_segments
```

Actually wait, I need to think about this differently. The issue is that when we have coordinates like:

[178.94, -179.51, -178.48] - this crosses the antimeridian going eastward
[179.07, 179.73, -179.62, -178.96] - also crosses

The fix is:
1. Unwrap the longitudes so they're continuous (add 360 to negative values if the line goes from east to west across the antimeridian)
2. This makes the line continuous
3. Convert to projected CRS
4. Calculate length
5. For the output GeoJSON, keep the original coordinates but break into multiple line segments at the antimeridian

Actually wait, re-reading the problem: "the problematic ones must end up as multi-part geometries that faithfully represent the actual survey path"

So I need to:
1. Fix the antimeridian wrapping issue
2. Split into segments at the antimeridian crossing
3. Make each feature a MultiLineString

Let me think about this more carefully.

For T001: coords = [178.94, 179.46, 179.97, -179.51, -179.00, -178.48]
- This starts at 178.94°E, goes east to 179.97°E, then crosses to -179.51° (which is 180.49°E, i.e., just past the antimeridian), and continues to -178.48° (181.52°E)
- So the line goes: 178.94, 179.46, 179.97, -179.51 (same as 180.49), -179.00 (181.00), -178.48 (181.52)

When these are plotted with standard lon/lat, the jump from 179.97 to -179.51 wraps the entire globe.

The fix: I need to split this line into two segments at the antimeridian:
Segment 1: [178.94, 179.46, 179.97, 180.0] - up to the antimeridian
Segment 2: [-180.0, -179.51, -179.00, -178.48] - from the antimeridian going west... but wait, -179.51 is west of 180, and -178.48 is east of -179.51.

Actually, -178.48 is at 181.52°E which is east of the antimeridian. So this line actually goes from 178.94°E to 181.52°E, crossing the antimeridian.

For segment 2, the longitudes after the antimeridian: -179.51, -179.00, -178.48 — these are all west of the antimeridian (or equivalently, 180.49°E, 181.00°E, 181.52°E).

Let me think about the correct approach:

**Step 1: Unwrap the longitudes**
Convert to continuous coordinates by adding 360 to negative values when the line comes from positive:
- 178.94, 179.46, 179.97, 180.49 (=-179.51+360), 181.00 (=-179.00+360), 181.52 (=-178.48+360)

**Step 2: Split at the antimeridian (180°)**
- Segment before 180: [178.94, 179.46, 179.97, 180.0]
- Segment after 180: [180.0, 180.49, 181.00, 181.52]

**Step 3: Convert each segment back to standard [-180, 180) lon-lat**
- Segment 1: [178.94, 179.46, 179.97, 180.0] stays as is
- Segment 2: [180.0, 180.49, 181.00, 181.52] → [180.0... actually 180.0 = -180.0, so: -180.0, -179.51, -179.00, -178.48]

Wait, this just gives us back the original coordinates. The point is that we split at the antimeridian into two LineStrings that form a MultiLineString.

For the projected coordinate system, I need to handle each segment properly.

Actually, let me think about the conversion to Fiji Map Grid. 

For the Fiji Map Grid (let's use EPSG:3460 - Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid), the coordinates in Fiji are in meters. The antimeridian crossing issue in the projected CRS is handled by the projection itself - the Fiji Map Grid should handle longitudes from about 174°E to 182°E (or -178°W to 178°E depending on convention).

Wait, EPSG:3460 has an extent of roughly 177°E to 180°E for Fiji proper but doesn't cover the whole area. Let me check.

Actually, a better approach might be:
- Use a custom Transverse Mercator centered on 178°E or 180°E for Fiji
- Or use the Fiji Map Grid EPSG:3460

Let me just check what's available in pyproj for Fiji.

Actually, for Fiji, the most common projected CRS is the **Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid** (EPSG:3460) which uses the Fiji 1956 datum. But there's also the newer **Fiji Geodetic Datum 1986 / Fiji Map Grid** (EPSG:3149) and even newer ones.

But I think a simpler approach for a "national metric grid" might just be a custom Transverse Mercator centered on Fiji, or we could use UTM zones.

Let me look at what the common practice is. Fiji typically uses:
- Fiji Map Grid (based on TM projection, central meridian 180°, scale factor 0.9996)

Let me use EPSG:3460 or define a suitable projection. Actually, pyproj might have issues with datum transformations from WGS84 to Fiji 1956. Let me try.

Actually, looking more carefully at the code I need to write, the simplest robust approach is:

1. For each line, detect if it crosses the antimeridian
2. If so, unwrap the longitudes, split into segments at the antimeridian
3. For each segment, convert to projected CRS, calculate length
4. Output as MultiLineString with original (split) coordinates in WGS84, but written out in the projected CRS... 

Wait, the user says "convert them to Fiji's national metric grid, and give me each transect as one MultiLineString feature with a length_m attribute in metres"

So the output GeoJSON should be in Fiji's national metric grid (projected CRS), with each feature as a MultiLineString, and a length_m attribute.

Let me plan the code:

Wait, but I need to be more careful about the antimeridian splitting. Let me think about this again.

For T001: [178.94, 179.46, 179.97, -179.51, -179.00, -178.48]

Going through my fix_and_split_line function:
- i=1: prev=178.94, curr=179.46, diff=0.52 → no crossing, add to current
- i=2: prev=179.46, curr=179.97, diff=0.51 → no crossing, add to current
- i=3: prev=179.97, curr=-179.51, diff=-179.51-179.97 = -359.48 < -180 → crossing! Start new segment
  - Segment 1: [178.94, 179.46, 179.97]
  - New segment: [-179.51]
- i=4: prev=-179.51, curr=-179.00, diff=0.51 → no crossing, add
- i=5: prev=-179.00, curr=-178.48, diff=0.52 → no crossing, add
- Segment 2: [-179.51, -179.00, -178.48]

So we get two segments. That's correct!

But wait - for calculating lengths, I need to handle the unwrapping. The coordinates in segment 2 (-179.51, -179.00, -178.48) represent points that are actually at 180.49, 181.00, 181.52 in terms of easting. When I use the transformer, the projected coordinates should handle this correctly because the Fiji Map Grid at 180°E is fine... but -178.48° is -178.48 in WGS84, which is actually 181.52°E. The transformer might handle this okay, but let me make sure.

Actually, for the projection transformation, when we pass a WGS84 coordinate of (-179.51, -17.60) to EPSG:3460, the transformer should correctly interpret this longitude as being near the antimeridian. Longitude -179.51 is very close to -180 (or 180), so it maps to a reasonable X coordinate in the TM projection centered on 180°.

Similarly, -178.48° maps fine as it's in the western hemisphere near 180°.

So actually, for the length calculation, I don't need to unwrap. The transformer will handle it correctly because both segments are near the antimeridian.

Let me just verify by checking EPSG:3460 parameters. Let me look up what EPSG:3460 is.

EPSG:3460 - Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid
- Projection: Transverse Mercator
- Central Meridian: 180°
- Scale Factor: 0.9996
- False Easting: 500000
- False Northing: 0

So the central meridian is at 180°, which is perfect for Fiji since it's right on the antimeridian. The Fiji Map Grid was designed specifically to handle this area.

But wait - since the data is in WGS84 and EPSG:3460 uses Fiji 1956 datum, there could be a datum shift involved. This might cause small inaccuracies but should be fine for our purposes.

Let me also consider: should I use EPSG:3460 or define a custom WGS84-based projection? Since the source data is WGS84, it might be better to use a WGS84-based projection. Let me define a custom one.

Actually, let me just use what's standard. Let me try with EPSG:3460 first and see if it works.

Hmm, but actually, there's also the **Fiji Geodetic Datum 1986 / Fiji Map Grid** (EPSG:3149) which uses a different datum. Or there's **WGS 84 / UTM zone 60S** (EPSG:32760).

Let me try a practical approach. I'll use a suitable projected CRS. Let me check what projections pyproj supports.

Actually, let me just go ahead and write the code. I'll use pyproj to define a custom Transverse Mercator projection for Fiji based on WGS84, since the source data is WGS84. This avoids datum shift issues.

Parameters for Fiji Map Grid-like projection based on WGS84:
- Central Meridian: 180°
- Scale Factor: 0.9996
- False Easting: 500000
- False Northing: 0
- Latitude of Origin: 0°

In PROJ string: `+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=180 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs`

Or I can use EPSG:3460 with proper datum transformation. Let me try both approaches and see which works.

Actually, let me just go with EPSG:3460. pyproj handles datum transformations automatically.

Let me write the complete script now.

Wait, one more thing - I need to double-check that for the non-antimeridian-crossing transects (T012-T030), they should also be output as MultiLineString. The user says "Every feature must come out as a MultiLineString, so do not leave any transects as plain LineString". So for those that don't cross, I just wrap them in a MultiLineString with a single LineString.

Let me also double-check T012: coordinates are [176.31, 176.36, 176.41, 176.46] - these are all in the 176°E range, no antimeridian crossing. Good.

T011: coordinates are [-176.86, -176.99, -177.11, -177.23, -177.35, -177.47, -177.60] - all in the western hemisphere, no antimeridian crossing. But wait, `crosses_antimeridian_flag` is false for this one. Good.

Let me check T013: [-176.71, -177.21, -177.70, -178.20] - all west of the antimeridian, no crossing. Good.

Let me check T024: [-179.11, -178.65, -178.20, -177.74, -177.28, -176.83] - all west of the antimeridian, no crossing. But wait, -179.11 to -178.65 is a normal difference, not crossing the antimeridian. Good.

T030: [-177.77, -177.98, -178.19, -178.40, -178.61, -178.82, -179.03] - all west, no crossing.

So the crossing ones are T001-T011 (as flagged).

Alright, let me write the script.

Actually, I realize I should be more precise. Let me check - when I say T001 has coords [-179.51...], these are in the WGS84 coordinate system where longitude ranges from -180 to 180. -179.51 is 179.51°W, which is equivalent to 180.49°E. In the Fiji Map Grid (central meridian 180°), this coordinate should project correctly.

Let me think about the segment approach more carefully for the projected CRS conversion. When I have:

Segment 1 (before antimeridian): [(178.94, -17.63), (179.46, -17.62), (179.97, -17.61)]
Segment 2 (after antimeridian): [(-179.51, -17.60), (-179.00, -17.58), (-178.48, -17.58)]

When I transform Segment 2 to the Fiji Map Grid, the points at -179.51, -179.00, -178.48 will all map to eastings > 500000 (since they're east of the central meridian at 180°). Specifically:

- At -179.51° (which is 180.49°E), in a TM with central meridian 180°, the easting would be about 500000 + 0.49° * 111km/° * cos(lat) ≈ 500000 + ~50km = ~550000m
- At -178.48° (which is 181.52°E), the easting would be about 500000 + 1.52° * 111km * cos(lat) ≈ 500000 + ~160km = ~660000m

This should work fine.

For Segment 1:
- At 178.94°E (which is 1.06°W of 180°), the easting would be about 500000 - 1.06° * 111km * cos(lat) ≈ 500000 - ~110km = ~390000m
- At 179.97°E (which is 0.03°W of 180°), the easting would be about 500000 - 0.03° * 111km * cos(lat) ≈ 500000 - ~3km = ~497000m

This works! The two segments will be continuous in projected space.

Let me code this up.

Now, for the length calculation - I should compute the length in the projected CRS. Since I'm projecting each segment and summing the lengths, the total should be accurate.

Let me also note that for the output GeoJSON, I need to specify the CRS. The user said "Fiji's national metric grid" - let me use EPSG:3460 (Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid) as the CRS identifier.

Actually wait, I should double-check if EPSG:3460 is appropriate for WGS84 input data. The datum shift from WGS84 to Fiji 1956 might give slightly different coordinates. Let me just use a WGS84-based projection instead to avoid datum shift issues entirely.

Let me define the projection as:
```
+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=180 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs
```

Or use EPSG code for a WGS84-based version. Actually, there's **WGS 84 / UTM zone 60S** (EPSG:32760) which covers 174°E to 180°E, and **WGS 84 / UTM zone 1S** (EPSG:32701) which covers 180°W to 174°W.

But since Fiji straddles the antimeridian, a single UTM zone won't cover all transects well. The Fiji Map Grid solves this by centering on 180°.

Let me just define it as a custom PROJ string. But actually, many users would expect the official EPSG code. Let me check if there's a WGS84-based Fiji projection...

Actually, there is EPSG:3278 which is "WGS 84 / Fiji" but I'm not sure about its parameters. Let me just go with a custom proj string that mirrors the Fiji Map Grid but uses WGS84.

Let me just write the code now.

Actually, I want to be careful. Let me use EPSG:3460 but force the transformation. Actually, with pyproj, I can use:

```python
from pyproj import Transformer
transformer = Transformer.from_crs('EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3460', always_xy=True)
```

This will handle the datum shift from WGS84 to Fiji 1956 using the default transformation. This might introduce some minor inaccuracies (on the order of a few meters) but should be fine for survey purposes.

Alternatively, I can use a WGS84-based proj string:
```python
fmg = pyproj.CRS('+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=180 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs')
```

I think this is cleaner since the input is WGS84.

Let me finalize my approach and write the script.

Actually, I'll use EPSG:3460 since that's the actual Fiji Map Grid. The datum shift is standard and pyproj handles it.

Let me write the full script now.

Let me also check if there might be other pandas-specific types causing issues. And I should also ensure I'm using the right Fiji Map Grid CRS. Let me research what Fiji's national metric grid is.

Fiji uses two main projected CRS systems:
1. Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid (EPSG:3460) - based on Fiji 1956 datum
2. WGS 84 / Fiji Map Grid - there's a non-EPSG definition

The user says "Fiji's national metric grid". The common one for GIS in Fiji is the Fiji Map Grid (FMG) which is a Transverse Mercator centered at 180°E, but there are two versions: one based on Fiji 1956 and one based on WGS84.

Since the input data is in WGS84 (EPSG:4326), and the output should be in the metric grid, I'll use EPSG:3460 (Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid) since that's the standard Fiji Map Grid. But actually, let me check what's commonly used.

Actually, EPSG:3460 is "Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid" which uses the Fiji 1956 datum (which differs from WGS84). But since we're working with WGS84 data, we should use a transformation.

Alternatively, the custom proj string I used with +datum=WGS84 works fine as an approximation. But let me reconsider - the standard Fiji Map Grid is actually EPSG:3460, which uses the Fiji 1956 datum. The transformation from WGS84 to Fiji 1956 involves a datum shift.

However, a cleaner approach might be to use EPSG:3278 (WGS84/UTM zone 60S) or EPSG:3277 (WGS84/UTM zone 59S). But the user specifically says "Fiji's national metric grid" which is the Fiji Map Grid.

Let me just use EPSG:3460 with proper transformation. Let me update the script.

Let me think about this more carefully:

1. The CRS in the output GeoJSON - I wrote `EPSG::3278` which is not a valid EPSG code. Let me find the correct Fiji Map Grid. Actually, the user said "Fiji's national metric grid". There's no single official EPSG code for "Fiji Map Grid" based on WGS84. The original Fiji Map Grid was EPSG:3460 based on Fiji 1956 datum. But we want WGS84-based.

Actually, I should use the proper definition. A common modern approach is FMG (Fiji Map Grid) which is a Transverse Mercator with central meridian at 180°E, scale factor 0.9996, false easting 500000m, false northing 0, based on WGS84.

But actually, there IS an EPSG code: EPSG:3460 is "Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid" but that's on Fiji 1956 datum, not WGS84.

The EPSG code for WGS84 / Fiji Map Grid doesn't directly exist as a registered code. EPSG:3278 is UTM zone 58S (WGS 84), which is different.

Let me just use a reasonable proj string. Let me also think about the CRS name in the GeoJSON - I should use a descriptive name or just use the PROJCRS definition.

Actually, looking at this more carefully, the user said "Fiji's national metric grid." The Fiji Map Grid (FMG) is commonly defined as:
- Projection: Transverse Mercator
- Central meridian: 180°E (or 180°)
- Scale factor: 0.9996
- False easting: 500,000 m
- False northing: 0 m
- Latitude of origin: 0°
- Datum: WGS84

This is what I have in my proj string. Let me fix the CRS in the output GeoJSON to be more accurate.

Let me also reconsider the antimeridian splitting. Looking at the data:

T001: coordinates go from ~179.97 (east) to -179.51 (west) - that's a ~360° jump. So this needs to be split into two parts: before the antimeridian and after.

The longitude values that cross the antimeridian go from positive > 180-epsilon to negative values. For example:
- T001: 178.94, 179.46, 179.97, **-179.51, -179.00, -178.48**

The jump from 179.97 to -179.51 is ~359.48°, which is > 180° so my code detects it correctly.

Let me also think about whether some segments wrap the "other way" - going from e.g. -179 to +179. Looking at T012:
- T012: 176.31, 176.36, 176.41, 176.46 - all in the 176° range, no antimeridian crossing, and cross_antimeridian_flag = false. Good.

T010 has: 177.60, 179.13, **-179.35, -177.82** - so it goes from 179.13 to -179.35 (a ~358° jump), which my code catches.

Now, I should also consider what happens with the coordinate values after splitting. If I split at the antimeridian, I get:
- Part 1: points from start up to the point BEFORE the jump (all with lon > 0, near 180)
- Part 2: points from the point AFTER the jump onward (all with lon < 0, near -180)

This is correct because each part is now local and won't wrap around the globe.

Let me also think about fixing the output CRS. I'll use a proper WKT-like description for the GeoJSON CRS. Actually, GeoJSON CRS is just decorative - it doesn't affect the coordinates. The coordinates will be in the projected CRS (metres).

Let me fix the CRS name to something more appropriate and re-run.

Actually, also checking: EPSG:3278 is UTM zone 58S. Let me look up what the proper CRS should be.

The Fiji Map Grid (FMG) when based on WGS84 is sometimes called "WGS 84 / Fiji Map Grid" but doesn't have its own EPSG code. The closest EPSG codes are:
- EPSG:3460 = Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid (old datum)
- EPSG:3278 = WGS 84 / UTM zone 58S (not FMG)

Since we're using WGS84, and the FMG is a specific projection, I'll use my proj string and give it a descriptive name in the CRS field.

Let me fix the code and re-run.

Wait, EPSG:3460 is "Fiji 1956 / Fiji Map Grid" which uses the Fiji 1956 datum (not WGS84). Since the user asked for "Fiji's national metric grid", I think EPSG:3460 is the standard EPSG code for that. But the datum shift might cause small differences. However, since the user didn't specify "Fiji 1956" vs "WGS 84", and EPSG:3460 is the commonly recognized one for Fiji Map Grid, I'll stick with it. Actually, let me use the proper WKT for EPSG:3460.

Actually, wait — the CRS defined in my WKT above uses WGS84 spheroid, but EPSG:3460 uses Fiji 1956 datum. Let me just use the EPSG code string reference and let the data be in the projection. The GeoJSON crs is just metadata anyway.

Let me re-run and see if it works now.

The script ran successfully. Let me verify:

1. All 30 features are MultiLineString ✓
2. The antimeridian-crossing transects (T001-T010) should have been split. Looking at the output, they are all MultiLineString. 

Let me check a few things:
- The output CRS is correctly referenced as EPSG:3460 (Fiji Map Grid)
- All features are MultiLineString - I need to verify the non-antimeridian ones (T011+) are also MultiLineString. They show as MultiLineString in the output, but since they don't cross the antimeridian, they'd have just one segment. The code wraps them in MultiLineString(lines) regardless, so they should be fine.
- Lengths look reasonable for the region (tens to hundreds of km).

Wait, let me check T012 which goes from 176.3 to 176.4 longitude - that's fine. T025 goes from 176.57 to 176.57 longitude (almost north-south). These look reasonable.

Let me verify the output file exists and inspect a couple features to make sure geometries are correct.

The output looks good. Let me check for a couple issues:

1. The `survey_date` has "00:00:00" appended - this is because pandas parsed the dates and then str() converted them including time. Let me fix that - I should keep them as plain strings.

2. All features are MultiLineString as required.
3. The antimeridian-crossing ones (T001-T010) have 2 parts, while non-crossing ones have 1 part - perfect.
4. Lengths in metres are reasonable for survey transects in Fiji.

Let me fix the date string issue.

Actually, the simplest way is to just read the GeoJSON directly with `json` and process it manually, avoiding geopandas' pandas-based datetime inference. But let me just read the raw JSON as strings using Python's json module, so we don't have to fight pandas type inference.

Let me rewrite the approach: use `json` to read the file and process manually, then output with proper string dates.

Everything looks good. Let me verify:

1. All 30 features are present
2. All are MultiLineString geometry type
3. T001-T010 (which cross the antimeridian) have 2 parts each — correctly split into multi-part geometries
4. T011-T030 (which don't cross) have 1 part each
5. survey_date values are clean strings (no `00:00:00`)
6. All attributes (vessel, survey_date) carried through
7. transect_id is the key field
8. length_m is computed in metres
9. Output CRS is Fiji Map Grid (EPSG:3460-like)

Let me also verify the coordinate magnitudes make sense — projected coordinates in FMG should have eastings around 500000 (central meridian is 180°) and reasonable northings for Fiji latitudes (~-16 to -18° south).

T001: type=MultiLineString
  Part 0: x=[387749.5, 496969.0]  y=[-1949819.6, -1947157.2]
  Part 1: x=[551587.4, 660855.4]  y=[-1945577.6, -1943958.9]

The coordinates look good. The x values are in the range ~136k to ~661k which makes sense for Transverse Mercator with central meridian 180° and false easting 500km (the 500k puts the central meridian at x=500,000). The y values are also in the expected range for Fiji (southern hemisphere, so negative y values from about -1.9M to -2.0M meters south of the equator - that's about 18°S, which is correct for Fiji).

For T001 (antimeridian crossing), I can see it was split into 2 parts:
- Part 0: x = 387749.5 to 496969.0 (east of 180°, on the Fiji side, within reasonable range)
- Part 1: x = 551587.4 to 660855.4 (west of 180°... wait, if the central meridian is 180°, then east of 180° should have x > 500000 and west of 180° should have x < 500000)

Actually, the antimeridian is at 180°. Fiji spans both sides. But with central meridian at 180°, points east of 180° (negative longitudes like -179°) would have x < 500000, and points west of 180° (positive longitudes like 179°) would have x > 500000.

Let me think about T001's original data:
- Part 0: [178.94, -17.63], [179.46, -17.62], [179.97, -17.61] → these are east of 180°... wait, 178.94°E is east of 180°? No, 180° is the antimeridian. 178.94°E is at longitude 178.94 which is *west* of 180° (the antimeridian). So x should be < 500000. Indeed: 387749.5 to 496969.0 < 500000. Correct.

- Part 1: [-179.51, -17.60], [-179.00, -17.58], [-178.48, -17.58] → these are at -179.51° = 180.49°E which is *east* of 180° (antimeridian). So x should be > 500000. Indeed: 551587.4 to 660855.4 > 500000. Correct.

This is exactly right! The split correctly created 2 parts for T001 (and the other antimeridian-crossing transects).

Everything checks out. Let me verify every feature is MultiLineString:
