The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) has announced a partnership with ‘Seabed 2030’ in which they will provide bathymetric gridded map products. This comes after the technical cooperation agreement agreed in 2021. The aim of Seabed 2030 is to have a decisive map of the entire ocean floor, with only 20% of the current ocean floor being mapped.
Peter Sparkes, Chief Executive at the UK Hydrographic Office, said:
“Today marks an important date in our partnership with Seabed 2030 as we initiate the release of identified data contributions to the project. As a world-leading centre for hydrography, we share the Seabed 2030 vision and believe that the full mapping of the world’s oceans is a key milestone in supporting safe, secure and thriving oceans.”
UKHO will also share and promote methods and best practices in technological innovation, infrastructure, and solutions for ocean mapping and bathymetric data management.
