Summary

MongoDB partnered with WildAid, a conservation group, to build an open-source application using MongoDB's unified data foundation. The resulting application, O-FISH, is designed to help fisheries enforcement officers access existing information about vessels before boarding them, and digitize and synchronize individual records for officer use. The application features a mobile app that allows officers to write boarding reports directly on a mobile device, as well as a Realm serverless web application that visualizes and extracts information from the data stored in MongoDB Atlas. The application uses MongoDB's unified data foundation, which saves time and money for WildAid while also providing a secure and efficient way to manage data. The O-FISH project is open-source and allows users to build and contribute to the code, with the goal of protecting our oceans.
