WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- HeroX, the leading platform and open marketplace for crowdsourced solutions, has launched its newest crowdsourcing challenge, Better Call Trawl, a challenge to better understand how effective current relocation trawling methods are at protecting sea turtles during offshore dredging operations. The competition invites data scientists and engineers, statisticians, and scientists to analyze the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's (BOEM) data, evaluate the effectiveness of current sea turtle relocation trawling practices, and develop an analytical tool that can help improve future protection efforts. The challenge will award up to $40,000 in prizes for top solutions. 

Key Points: 
  • BOEM is responsible for managing the nation's offshore energy and mineral resources in an environmentally responsible way.
  • The Bureau helps address the ongoing erosion of America's beaches by authorizing dredging in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) to collect sand from the ocean floor for coastal restoration and beach replenishment.
  • However, sea turtles near the seabed are at risk of being caught in these dredges and injured, often lethally.
  • BOEM develops, funds, and manages rigorous scientific research studies to inform its policy decisions on offshore energy and mineral resource development.
