What is ‘Oceanic Advocacy Data Hub’

An interactive digital platform that aggregates and analyzes data on marine conservation efforts and their socioeconomic impacts to provide evidence-based advocacy for affordable education and economic stability.

Components:

Website/dashboard development

Systematic data analysis

Structured project management

Implementation of risk management protocols

Administrative oversight.

Why I am pursuing this project (My why)

I am a ‘Reflective Thinker’ personality type person with strong ‘advocate’ business potential.
I’m super passionate about marine biology, especially when it comes to protecting our oceans. I’m really good at teaching others about it and getting them as excited as I am. So, I’ve decided to start a project as a social worker to help people get the education and financial stability they need, because I believe everyone deserves a fair shot..
