🌊 Seabed mapping supports far more than our understanding of the ocean floor. From renewable energy and marine conservation to climate research, accurate bathymetric data underpins decisions that affect people, nature and the future of our ocean.

📊 Mapping the world's ocean isn't only about collecting new data. Valuable bathymetric data already exist in many organisations around the world. When those datasets can be shared, processed and integrated, they help improve our collective understanding of the seafloor.

🔍 For the first time, scientists have observed seafloor spreading in real time. Seafloor spreading is the process by which new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges - a geological process that has shaped entire ocean basins over millions of years.
