Obstacles to address
Finding marine pollution events on various organization websites is a time-consuming task.
There are currently no apps in the market exclusively dedicated to marine pollution, providing facts, information, and listings of related events in the country.
Individuals lack awareness about how their activities can contribute to endangering marine life through pollution.
This mobile app can be a step forward in tackling marine pollution.
Developing a mobile application offers convenience in raising awareness about marine pollution and facilitating participation in local events across the country. It will mark the inaugural mobile application in Malaysia dedicated to disseminating awareness and information about marine pollution, while also offering events across the nation.
To raise awareness about our mobile app, we aim to host a convention event featuring organizations dedicated to tackling marine pollution.
✦ Effortlessly discover marine pollution prevention events
✦ Discover organizations supporting marine life in Malaysia through a single platform, eliminating the need to search multiple organization websites individually for events of interest.

✦ This serves as an example event page. Participants can access additional information, add the event to their wishlist, or register.
✦ An overlay pop-up appears upon clicking "Register Now." Participants have the option to click "Cancel Registration" if they accidentally clicked or changed their mind.
✦ Participants have the option to make an online payment in advance or pay during the convention.
✦ Participants can reach out for complaints, business inquiries, or general inquiries.
The inaugural mobile app centered on marine pollution, offering facts, information, and event listings for public participation.
As of 2024, there are no dedicated mobile apps that solely focus on listing marine pollution events. However, some environmental organizations and government agencies may occasionally release apps or provide event listings through their websites or social media channels. But we want to solve this by putting all of the organization's info into one platform.
