The Challenge, created by Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley and DataBay
partners, invites you to create data-driven applications that increase public
engagement and aid in Chesapeake Bay restoration. Over the weekend, the
Challenge will bring participants together with prominent environmental
“futurists” who will describe some of the Chesapeake Bay’s challenges
and needs. In addition, environmental scientists from SERC and the EPA will
be on hand to offer their expertise. Participants will have access to a broad
variety of robust data about the Chesapeake Bay, including decades of water
samples from hundreds of locations describing everything from what fish eat,
to where to swim safely and what water bodies are under pollution
restrictions.
