Human activity has done near-irreparable damage to the health of our oceans. Growing carbon emissions, melting ice caps, over-fishing, rising sea temperatures, and plastic waste pollution are only a handful among numerous reasons for the degradation of marine ecosystems and the decline in ocean resources.
Although both awareness toward ocean health has grown in the past few years, there is still the need for wider action, cooperation, and innovation to restore our oceans for future generations.
The Fishackathon is a global programme that engages communities of passionate innovators and inspires mass collaboration to address sea-related challenges with sustainable, tech-enabled solutions.
