Want to learn how you can participate in marine conservation with just your phone? Today we’re chatting with Caitlin McKeown who has the solution. She is the co-founder of We Spot Turtles, an app that enables users to upload images of sea turtles they spot in the wild and use AI recognition to track them around the world. One of the biggest challenges in conserving these beautiful creatures is that there are significant data gaps, but by empowering everyone with a phone to participate in identifying and tracking turtles, we can close that data gap. We’ll also chat about how climate change is affecting sea turtles, how technology can actually connect us to nature, Caitie’s sustainability tips, and the future of the app and potential expansion to other species.
