Code Competition for Innovators and a Chance to Win $30,000

Kaggle is calling innovators all over the world to a code competition; TensorFlow - Help Protect the Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef Foundation established an innovation program to develop new survey and intervention methods to provide a step-change in COTS Control. However, it is eager to see your work that could help researchers identify species that are threatening Australia's Great Barrier Reef and take well-informed action to protect the reef for future generations. Be creative, and build an object detection model trained on underwater videos of coral reefs.
