Introducing the $7M Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE
Channel: XPRIZE
Date: 2015-12-14

The $7 Million Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE is a global, three-year competition challenging teams to advance breakthrough technologies for rapid, unmanned and high-resolution ocean exploration.

The $1M NOAA bonus prize will be awarded to teams that demonstrate their technology can “sniff out” a specified object in the ocean through biological and chemical signals. This will allow us to respond to emergencies, and discover new marine life and underwater communities in a way that never existed before.
