JellyGo Shines at the UN Ocean Decade Conference: A Proud Moment for OH KL

On April 22, JellyGo, a standout team from the Ocean Hackathon Kuala Lumpur (OH KL), took the global stage at the 2nd UN Ocean Decade Regional Conference in Bangkok, Thailand. Held alongside the 11th WESTPAC International Marine Science Conference, this event brought together marine scientists, policymakers, and innovators to drive sustainable ocean solutions. For OH KL, it was a proud moment to see one of our hackathon teams making waves on an international platform.

The JellyGo App: Innovation Born at OH KL

JellyGo’s journey began at OH KL, where they developed their innovative mobile app to monitor and predict jellyfish distributions. Using real-time data and machine learning, the app helps coastal communities, tourists, and fisheries stay safe and minimize disruptions caused by jellyfish blooms. It’s a perfect example of how hackathon ideas can grow into real-world solutions for ocean sustainability.

A Global Platform for Local Innovation

At the conference, JellyGo showcased their app to marine experts and industry leaders from around the world. These interactions not only validated their work but also opened doors for future collaborations. For OH KL, this highlights the importance of providing a platform for local innovators to connect with global networks.

Aligning with the UN Ocean Decade Goals

JellyGo’s work aligns perfectly with the UN Ocean Decade’s mission to advance ocean science for sustainable development. Their success is a testament to the power of hackathons like OH KL in driving impactful solutions for our oceans.

What’s Next?

The conference was just the beginning. JellyGo’s achievements inspire us to continue pushing the boundaries of ocean innovation. We’re excited to keep improving the app and exploring new ways to use technology for ocean sustainability —but we can’t do it alone.

At Ocean Hackathon Kuala Lumpur (OH KL), we’re committed to supporting more teams like JellyGo, helping them turn bold ideas into real-world impact. If you’re passionate about the ocean and innovation, join us in our mission to protect the ocean. Whether it’s by downloading the JellyGo app, sharing your ideas, or participating in the next OH KL, your contribution matters.

Together, we can make waves for a healthier, more sustainable ocean.
