Silicon Valley Business Journal

The Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPrize competition has opened registration for a contest where participants develop new technologies to track oceanic health. Teams compete in a 22-month contest for a $2 million prize to create a new generation of ocean pH sensor technology that could transform the way scientists understand ocean acidification. Technologies that emerge from XPrize will study and monitor ocean acidification and how it impacts marine ecosystems, enabling industries from fisheries to marine managers to anticipate, adapt and mitigate changes in ocean chemistry, according to a statement.
