Fishackathon is a public-private partnership that aims to capitalize on the
expansion of mobile phone and internet use across the developing world to
address sustainable fishery challenges. The annual Fishackathon event calls
on coders and science enthusiasts from all around the world to come
together to create new applications and tools for use on mobile phones and
other devices, which can help fishers work smarter and more safely in
sustainable fishing.
The United States *Secretary’s Office of Global Partnerships*
http://www.state.gov/s/partnerships/ organized the inaugural Fishackathon
around the Secretary’s Our Ocean conference in 2014. The 2014 Fishackathon
took place at aquariums and tech hubs in *five cities*
http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2014/06/227456.htm across the United
States, and the 2015 event expanded to thirteen cities around the world.
