The Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) Ocean Hackathon 2022 is now accepting applications. The Sustainable Ocean Alliance is excited to collaborate with the Center for Sea Rise Solutions and its international community to hold the second Ocean Hackathon in Sausalito, California on December 2-4, amplifying the fantastic work already being done in this field. Concepts held by ocean solutionists from the SF Bay Area and beyond.
They want you to join them to address special challenges ranging from the marinas of Sausalito, California, to the shores of Cascais, Portugal, and the reefs of the Caribbean. It doesn’t matter if you are a marine biologist, mechanical engineer, or ocean advocate looking to support the ocean-impact space.
The challenges will address some of the following core issues facing the ocean and coastal communities:
- Ocean mapping, including quantifying seaweed farms and key habitats of marine species for
offshore wind plans - Electrification of the maritime industry
- The supply chain of ingredients for alternatives to seafood
- Ocean regulation + monitoring in coastal cities
- Navigating the complexities of how our communities, businesses and technologies adapt to
climate change most effectively and intentionally.
Benefits:
The top winners of the Ocean Hackathon will receive a trip to compete in the grand finale in
Brest, France, along with curated support from the SOA Team and alliance of mentors and
partners, plus unique programming opportunities.
Eligibility:
- Open to ocean innovators such as marine biologists, mechanical engineers, or ocean
advocate; - Applicants should be local to the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
