The Maldives Ocean Hackathon spans a continuous 48 hours, during which teams engage in the creation of prototypes while also contemplating their practical application. These teams are tasked with addressing three pivotal ocean-related challenges: bolstering ocean well-being, curbing marine pollution, tackling ocean acidification, and fostering climate resilience for coastal island populations. Teams are expected to ensure that their concepts are constructed with a strong emphasis on improving data-centric strategies and policymaking for climate adaptation and resilience within the Maldives.
