Using New Technologies to Create Safe Marine Environments

There is an accelerating effort among ocean scientists, advocates and technologists to harness new technologies for marine conservation. These technologies, which include satellite sensors, drones and artificial intelligence, can be used to monitor and manage marine ecosystems—discovering new coral reefs, identifying illegal or unsustainable fishing fleets, and exposing destructive coastal development. Our panel will discuss what's already working in this space and also what technologies might soon be available to protect and create healthy and safe marine environments in the Bay Area and around the world.
