Conserving Our Oceans & Seas “Browse the app and save our oceans”
Business Requirements ▪ Oceans play pivotal role in making earth habitable ▪ Climate, weather, food, and oxygen are regulated by the oceans ▪ 18 billion pounds of plastic enter the oceans every year ▪ More plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050 ▪ 3.5 billion people depend on oceans for food (fishing) ▪ Management of our oceans are key to a sustainable future
App Objectives ▪ App will allow users to search the internet as a browser ▪ Advertisers pay to have their ads pop-up ▪ We are paid for every ad clicked on by users ▪ Additional money for purchases made through the app ▪ Money is used to help clean plastic from the oceans
Target Audience ▪ Oceans are critical to all our lives ▪ Conservationists who want to help reduce pollution ▪ Main source of plastic comes from countries in poverty ▪ Youth are constantly on their phones browsing the internet ▪ Beach, ocean, sea, and wildlife lovers
App Features ▪ Internet browser ▪ Facts on the oceans and how pollution affects them ▪ Stats on ocean clean up/ littering ▪ Environmentally friendly products sold through app ▪ Mobile payments/ banking set up for purchases & donations ▪ Social media integration ▪ Real time updates on plastic removal
Monetization Model / Specs ▪ App will use advertising – paid per ad visit ▪ In-app purchases for products sold through app ▪ Money collected is used to fund ocean clean up’s ▪ App will be formatted for both iOS and Android platforms ▪ Routine maintenance to update information ▪ All data and info will be stored securely in the cloud
Updates & Maintenance ▪ App updates once a month to allow new features and upgrades ▪ Keep the app from becoming obsolete & fixes bugs ▪ Needs to constantly evolve to keep up with demands ▪ Allows for adjustments in strategy if needed ▪ Users and platforms take updated apps more seriously ▪ Feedback from users ▪ Improvement of the user experience
Dependencies, Assumptions, Constraints, and Submission ▪ Dependent on AWS cloud platform ▪ Avoid app restarting due to user loss of Wi-Fi ▪ Ensure app design works on all Android & iOS devices at beginning ▪ API’s allow other apps to “talk” to each other ▪ Assume our users will become regulars ▪ App will help clean up millions of pounds of plastic from oceans
Business As A Force For Good ▪ God created the world, including the oceans and seas ▪ He created us in his image to care for his creations ▪ Ocean pollution is caused by human recklessness ▪ Our responsibility to maintain oceans for future generations ▪ Business will create revenue to clean up our oceans ▪ App will inform users on the dangers of pollution and waste
