The Marine Metre Squared (Mm2) project has been developed by the New Zealand Marine Studies Centre, Department of Marine Science, University of Otago.
The aim of the project is to encourage communities to get involved in long-term monitoring of the seashore, to raise awareness of biodiversity and changes in the marine environment, and build links between scientists, educators, schools and community/iwi groups who care about the seashore environment and want to look after it.
You can get your school or community group involved to contribute to a national database! With plenty of free and downloadable resources available on the MM2 website, you have all you need to start surveying the New Zealand coastline.
