SUMMARY:#OceanChallenge4Africa hackathon
DESCRIPTION:The #OceanChallenge4Africa hackathon will take place fully online from 8 to 10 April 2022\, bringing together participants to find solutions to address challenges in coastal and marine environments in Africa. Teams will be invited to create innovative and impact-driven ocean solutions using marine earth-observation data\, to contribute to the sustainable use of ocean and coastal resources in Africa. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe coastal and marine environments in Africa expand over 35\,000 kilometers of coastline in 38 countries on the continent and deliver numerous ecosystem services\, among which food provisioning\, climate regulation\, cultural benefits\, tourism\, shipping\, to name just a few. While the ocean holds a vital role in the lives of many African communities and offers many opportunities\, it is also threatened by climate change and increasing pressures derived from human activities\, affecting the health and resilience of marine environments and biodiversity. \nTo find solutions\, the Copernicus Marine Service and Mercator Ocean International have launched the #OceanChallenge4Africa\, a one-of-a-kind 48-hour journey to create transformative and impact-driven ocean science solutions which will participate in achieving a sustainable ocean and improve livelihoods for coastal communities in Africa. \n\nWho can participate?\n\n\n\n\nWe invite business visionaries\, marketing wizards\, project managers\, educators\, web/app developers\, UX/UI designers\, entrepreneurs\, product/service developers\, marine and coastal field experts and students\, environmentalists\, data scientists\, meteorologists\, oceanographers\, marine biologists\, and other interested individuals with the desire to contribute to the development of new and change-making products and services with their knowledge and skills.\n\n\n\nKey dates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information and to register\, click here.\n\nRewatch all the pre-events via this link.
