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.
