“Seeking Support: Help Fish Welfare Initiative Develop Remote Sensing Technology” by haven

Summary One of the largest welfare issues affecting farmed fish is poor water quality. Fish Welfare Initiative works to address this issue for these animals in India, via our farm program. The main limitation of our program right now is its scalability: We currently visit every farm individually to take measurements and provide corrective actions. Because of this, we are investigating remote sensing technology, particularly satellite imagery (and also exploring the use of drones). To further develop this tech, we launched an innovation challenge, in which we will pay up to $10K to the party that can predict water quality values using satellite-provided data above a certain degree of accuracy. How you can help: We think it's possible that individuals, using publicly available data (e.g.) could develop models of sufficient accuracy. Experience with remote sensing, machine learning, and statistical modeling could all be helpful here.
