In 2022, there is no more denying climate change is a real global issue that requires urgent attention. Living in California, our team has seen and experienced, first hand, the impacts on our costal environments. When received this brief we felt inspired by the possibility of being able to do something about the deteriorating health of the coast and our planet overall.
We were been tasked with the challenge to develop a mobile app that encourages local coastal communities to take action and help preserve their coastal environments, through the following functions:
Engage the greater community to volunteer in preservation efforts
Provide a way to educate others about coastal habitats, why they matter, and how they can be maintained
Promote advocacy for more sustainable ways to produce, recycle, and reuse
Gamify active awareness and activism such as promotion, donations, or volunteerism
Elevate news, companies, organizations, and/or individuals focused on this progress
Integrate virtual or augmented reality to connect preservation outcomes with visual impact
Encourage social media sharing to create momentum
