██ SPONSOR FISHACKATHON » This is a rare and unique opportunity to support a great cause on a global, regional, or local level! Please email [email protected] for more info.

██ CHALLENGE SETS » Our work-in-progress challenges (listed here: http://hckrn.st/2lHsVd0) are real-world problems sourced from industry and government: solve them and you'll help millions. They are guidelines; participants may work on any project that fits one of our 3 themes:

»» Sustainability: Overfishing, pollution, and other hazards threaten the extinction of marine species and throw off our ecological balance. »» Enforcement: Agencies often lack resources to effectively enforce regulations. This results in environmental damage and significant inequity. »» Marketplace: Poor data access puts small players at a disadvantage and hinders firms from making smart, socially responsible decisions.

Please go to the Fishackathon event listing for more details on demos, judging, global prizing, and more!
