    - - Time: 6 weeks
      - Evaluated against prescribed and self-determined criteria
      - Low-fidelity solution
      - Must implement data from the ABS on the GBR region
  - - - Simpler data search process for Australian students
      - Limited provision of visual representation of data -> extends data collection and analysis for users
      - Displays insight about climate change, and environmental changes can be studied more easily
      - The application requires space and internet access, which is not always available for Australians
      - No personal data is required at this stage, ensuring protection of private information

    - - Sharing of knowledge and data enables students to speak more fluently about the GBR with others
      - Knowledge on the marine's condition influences funding to the area, which promotes the economic impacts
    - - Further funding of research
      - More jobs created as a result of funding
      - Data is free to users as it is an open dataset
      - Free application leaves possibility for paid content in future
