The 2005 Game, Ocean Odyssey, is divided into two different parts as it is every year, the robot game and the project. This year’s robot game is split into 9 different missions. The missions are deploy the submarine, conduct a transect mapping, protect the pump station, service the pipeline, sample one species from among others, release the dolphin, decide about as artificial reef, clean up a cargo shipping accident, and find and recover archaeological artifacts. Each mission has a different point value. Every team is given two and a half minutes to complete as many missions as they can. The 2005 project is to choose an ocean or sea activity or resource and trace its impact on our oceans’ health, biodiversity, and productivity. Learn what the experts and other groups are doing in this area, and identify a challenge they are facing. Then create an innovative solution to help them improve the use of this resource or activity, while minimizing the negative impact on our oceans for present and future generations. Finally, share what you have learned with others.
