Established in 2013, the Marine Metre² (Mm²) project was developed by the New Zealand Marine Studies Centre, University of Otago, to encourage communities to get involved in monitoring and protecting the seashore and the many species which call it home.
By raising awareness of the unique biodiversity and vital role the seashore plays linking land and sea, Marine Metre² helps communities understand changes in their marine environment and what we can do to care for it.
Workshops are a great way to learn about Marine Metre² and connect with others interested in the marine environment!
