Christchurch City Council, NZ collaborates on the development of SeaSpotter citizen science app

Christchurch City Council, NZ SeaSpotter Citizen Science App

Complete

The Smart Christchurch team sought a solution for insufficient data about endangered mammal populations. A partnership with the Department of Conservation, MAUI63, and others resulted in an AI-powered app for public use. SeaSpotter users can take pictures and relay information about mammal sightings using the app's chat function. Citizen scientists learn about local animals while supplying real-time data to university and agency researchers.
