Calling all designers, programmers and eco-warriors:
endangered seabirds need your help.
THE PROBLEM
Seabird bycatch is when birds are unintentionally captured and killed in fishing activities. For example, in longline fishing, birds take the bait meant for fish, are hooked, and drown. Bycatch is always bad, but for endangered species with already vulnerable populations, itâs devastating. But there is hope. Better data collection could lead to better longterm management and protection protocols. We need to find an ingenious way to track this bycatch. And we think you can help. Somewhere, thereâs a feathered friend who will thank you for it.
WHY ME?
If you have an industrial design, UX design, programming, data science or project management background and care deeply about beautiful flying squawky things, youâre an essential addition. Plus youâll be surrounded by lots of other smart, dedicated eco-warriors. Itâll be a lot of fun.
WAIT, HOLD ON...
WHATâS A HACKATHON?
A hackathon is an event where creative and tech-savvy people collaborate to build solutions for hard-to-solve problems.
The event is being hosted by Context Partners and sponsored by The David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
