Medias Maris

Medias Maris is developing a decentralized, open-source network of ocean sensing systems designed for community use. Our modular platform integrates tools like green LiDAR, underwater photogrammetry, and acoustic monitoring to capture high-resolution data on coral reef health.

By enabling localized, federated data collection, we aim to shift ocean monitoring away from extractive models and toward systems that are co-created, transparent, and grounded in local knowledge. Medias Maris supports a new paradigm for ocean science: one that is distributed, just, and responsive to the communities most affected by climate change.
