We are seeking some computer based help for our Marine research project in the Mediterranean!
While we will sail from Greece to the norther Adriatic in a mission to replant seagrass meadows we need to reach out to a network of Diving bases and marine field stations along the way to work with. Since on board we are usually limited when it comes to internet, it would be amazing to have land based help to set up the meetings along the way and start conversations with the centers along the coast!

Save turtles and be a community hero.
All turtles are at risk of extinction in Canada. The major threat to most are road injuries and mortality. Road Researchers and Crossing Guards adopt sections of roads that are known for turtle-strikes, and they assist our shelled friends to safety, while gathering important data to help scientists plan for mitigation such as turtle tunnels, road signs, and nesting mounds etc.

Coral Reef & Flood Simulation Project
Coral Reef flood prevention simulation, Scenario Planning & serious gaming Volunteer, CrowdDoing

Overview
The USGS’s latest study notes that coral reef barriers provide flood protection for more than 18,000 people and $1.8 billion worth of coastal infrastructure and economic activity annually in the United States. However, this benefit is rarely acknowledged by the general public and key stakeholders in related fields. CrowdDoing sees this gap and proposes a serious game project to raise the public awareness of the environmental benefits of coral reefs, educate stakeholders, and encourage additional actions to reduce environmental pollution that puts coral reefs at risk.

 

The main objective of this project is to develop a pledging platform for stakeholders including experts, government officials, and students who desire to bring social innovations to the problem and support. By introducing an interactive gamified platform to explain how coral reefs contribute to flooding prevention, stakeholders will gain knowledge and learn facts about the problem, find partners with similar interests, and create impact. This is done by identifying synergies, sharing knowledge and promoting and improving cooperation among researchers, social innovators, and communities interested in addressing the challenge.

 

CrowdDoing is building a team of volunteers for the production of this project. The involvement of volunteers contributes to the project in different ways. It provides opportunities for volunteers to demonstrate mastery, upskilling, building connection between volunteers, health & wellbeing benefits as well as social impact itself. It can also be a frame for non-experts to take responsibility for advancing fields that traditionally are exclusively the domain of experts. For example, citizen science is democratizing the role of scientists so that anyone can take responsibility for advancing scientific knowledge and progress. Analogously, ""citizens"" be engaged in other fields that have formerly been exclusively left to experts. CrowdDoing welcomes anyone with an interest in the vision to join the team and build the global platform for social innovations.

Why serious games?
Serious games combine entertainment with education and civic engagement. Serious gaming is a widely used technique to educate people with diverse backgrounds and has proven effective in a range of contexts. Games are also one of the most popular entertainment products and are well received by the public, especially the young. With the help of various game distribution platforms, digital games can easily reach out to a large number of audiences and achieve impact goals that would otherwise not be feasible. Games can also become entry points for deeper participation. Serious games, such as ""Fold It,"" for example, have been successful at supporting advances in research into cancer therapies.

 

How are we going to achieve the goals in our serious game for coral reefs?
 

There are three stages for this project:

A Single player game - multiple role simulation of a specific area with real-world data.

A Multi-player game - multiple role simulation of selected areas with real-world data.

A Massively Multi-player Online gamified platform - simulation of multiple roles with real-world data, supporting various strategies of relevant social innovation.

We started with a single-player game project to lay the foundation for both technologies and product design. The primary goal is to design a game with multiple roles/stakeholders participating and simulating the results with real-world data. In the next stage, we will support multiplayer functionality to emphasize collaboration among stakeholders through the real-time multiplayer gaming experience. The ultimate goal of this project is to create a multiplayer online platform that simulates global ecosystems and supports the participation of different stakeholders in real-time. It will evolve into a platform that, in addition to serving educational purposes, also fosters research on simulations of how the human activity would affect the local and global environment and actions that stakeholders can take to achieve positive environmental goals.
