Youth Innovation Challenge 2023: Saving Our Seas!
In partnership with the Taiwan Ocean Conservation Administration (OCA), GEEP hosted the 2023 Youth Innovation Challenge: Saving Our Seas! This year's challenge provided an opportunity for young people ages 15–30 around the world to share their innovative solutions to protect marine resources and support people of all ages to be engaged stewards for marine conservation. We looked for solutions that are innovative, feasible, and informed by research. Winning solutions received global recognition and a $1,000 USD prize!
