What is Fishackathon?

A Fishackathon is a computer  coding and technology intensive event that brings together  developers, designers, project managers, and subject matter  experts to create applications, systems, and tools for  sustainable fishery issues.

Fishackathon was launched in 2014 around The United States of America Secretary of State, John Kerry’s Our Ocean conference, Fishackathon was established to bring together volunteer coders to create tools to address challenges in sustainable fishing around the world. The pilot Fishackathon brought together coders in 5 cities around the United States, and the second annual Fishackathon in 2015 expanded to 12 cities worldwide, including hackathons in Asia, Europe, and Latin America and now Africa.
