Decentralization: A Crowdsourced Oceanet

For context: The Original idea

There are a few ways that this idea can be moved into a lower energy profile, but also a more robust system as a whole by decentralizing the production of the content. Instead of a having a team of writers curating the content and then releasing it to the masses for discussion, you could have the users and activists create the content. That is to say, Oceanet would bring together concerned individuals who put to film their own experiences with climate change, pollution and other human factors that are having significant negative impact on the current state and future of the world’s oceans.

Oceanet itself would serve as a gathering place for activists and volunteers to draw attention to the needs of the environments they are involved in saving. Different conservation groups from around the world could converge resources to create a definitive place to frankly discuss issues. They would upload the media, place their own GPS trackers and animal cameras and could still weave semi-fictional narratives around the exploits to engage, educate, and entertain.

Without a centralized system, there is (as is the case with decentralization) less risk of immediate collapse and it creates a situation where the network itself becomes self-perpetuating, it would also serve as a bridge between otherwise mutually exclusive groups, and the public. This personal creation also interfaces with people on more levels by increasing personal investment.
