Marine Monitor (M2): Ocean Conservation Technology
Join us on 4th March 2026 for a Earthteam townhall spotlight talk "Marine Monitor (M2): Ocean Conservation Technology" by Samantha King.
Sam is the Senior Scientist for the ProtectedSeas Marine Monitor (M2). Passionate about making complex data useful and accessible to support conservation, Sam helps M2 partners around the world fine-tune and monitor data collection and generate data products for maximum impact.
Marine Monitor (M2) is an innovative sensor platform that supports long-term monitoring of human use and real-time enforcement action for marine protected areas. We will explore the technology behind M2, why it’s a smart choice for monitoring sensitive coastal ecosystems, and how it’s being used around the world to support ocean conservation.
