Seabed 2030

💙 This Earth Day, let’s expand our perspective. Yes, land-based ecosystems are precious. But what about the #oceanfloor? 🌎 It’s time our planetary thinking included the vast underwater landscapes hidden from view - from biodiverse seamounts to pristine abyssal plains and ancient hydrothermal vents. At Seabed 2030, we’re guided by the principle that you can't protect what you don’t understand. And you can’t understand what hasn't been mapped. Our mission isn’t just about filling blank spaces on charts. It’s about revealing the foundation of Earth's interconnected systems, helping us understand how they work together - from mountaintops to deep-sea trenches. ➡️ Join us: https://lnkd.in/e_PKsPDy #EarthDay #OceanMapping #Hydrospatial

🇩🇰 Our partner Saildrone is expanding operations to Europe with a new subsidiary in Denmark! As the demand for maritime domain awareness grows, Saildrone’s autonomous solutions - capable of detailed ocean floor mapping - will play a key role in monitoring and safeguarding pipelines, communication cables, and offshore energy infrastructure. 🌬️🌊 Subsea cable planning and renewable energy development are just some of the many real-world use cases for seabed mapping, and we’re excited to see our partner enhancing capabilities in the region.

🎉 A huge congratulations to Brian Calder of the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping / NOAA-UNH Joint Hydrographic Center on being elected to the 2025 Hydrographer Hall of Fame - a prestigious award bestowed every two years to individuals who have made significant advancements in the science of hydrographic surveying and demonstrated exemplary service to the field. Brian joins fellow inductees including Seabed 2030 Co-Head of the Arctic and North Pacific Center, Larry Mayer, who praised Brian's blend of theoretical insight and practical innovation. 💡 From pioneering the CUBE algorithm to developing crowd-sourced mapping tools now used around the world, Brian's work has transformed how the hydrographic community processes and shares bathymetric data. We're grateful for his contributions, and proud to celebrate this well-deserved honour! Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e-wzp74r #Hydrospatial #BathymetricCharts #SeabedMapping

🗺️ Seabed mapping is fundamental to supporting climate change models, enhancing renewable energy, managing subsea cable infrastructure, protecting marine biodiversity, and so much more. 
 Achieving complete ocean coverage will help close a major data gap and create new opportunities for countries to sustainably manage marine resources and advance the Sustainable Development Goals. ❔ Where do you think seabed mapping can have the biggest impact right now?

🐠 The lives and livelihoods of Pacific Islanders are intrinsically linked to the sea. 🌊 As ocean conditions continue to change, mapping the seafloor in the Pacific is more important than ever - supporting regional priorities in ocean stewardship, climate resilience and sustainable development. Our Pacific Ocean Mapping Meeting served as a key platform for regional collaboration and knowledge exchange. Through events like this, Seabed 2030 partners, Pacific nations, and industry stakeholders come together to share expertise, exchange tools and technologies, and work in partnership to support sustainable ocean management for future generations. #PacificIslands #SustainableDevelopment #Hydrospatial #SeabedMapping

🔎 More data = more knowledge The latest release of the EMODnet Bathymetry digital terrain model (DTM) features a further 126 high-quality datasets, combining data from acoustic surveys, airborne bathymetric Lidar, and satellite-derived bathymetry. 
 But this isn’t just about numbers. It’s about expanding access and sharing knowledge. 💡 Every data point helps refine our understanding and supports better decision-making - whether for marine conservation, offshore energy infrastructure or broader ocean management. As the most detailed publicly available bathymetry model for European waters, EMODnet’s DTM is a vital resource for both regional and global stakeholders, strengthening our collective understanding of the seafloor.

📢 We’re excited to see #Seabed2030 partners Fugro and EOMAP take their collaboration to the next level: https://lnkd.in/dfGydM7w   With this acquisition, Fugro strengthens its capabilities in satellite-based Earth Observation (EO) technologies, building on EOMAP’s expertise in water quality monitoring, habitat mapping and bathymetric data.   This partnership will continue to drive innovation in mapping and monitoring coastal and marine environments, supporting a sustainable future for the ocean. 🌊   We’re excited to continue working alongside Fugro and EOMAP, a Fugro company, as we make headway with the global effort to map and understand the ocean floor. 🌐 #Hydrospatial #MarineTechnology #BathymetricData #OceanSustainability

📍 Final day at #OceanBusiness 2025! 🚢 The dockside welcomed a new arrival today: one of Ocean Infinity’s fleet of motherships for drone survey vessels. Inside, we explored hands-free tech designed to support offshore teams, connected with Seabed 2030 partners, and shared how ocean mapping helps shape policy and law during the Ocean Careers session. Huge thanks to the organisers and everyone who dropped by our stand this week. Until next time! #OceanMapping #Hydrospatial #BlueEconomy #OceanInnovation

BREAKING NEWS: Saildrone has just announced its first European subsidiary, based in Denmark, to address the urgent need for maritime domain awareness in European waters. 🇩🇰 👏 “Given the recent sabotage of critical undersea infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, the need for permanent maritime domain awareness has never been greater,” said Richard Jenkins, Saildrone founder and CEO. “I am delighted to announce the establishment of Saildrone Denmark to facilitate our European operations and support allied nations, at this critical time for regional maritime security.” Read the press release: https://lnkd.in/de2RFWPU

📍 Day 2 update from #OceanBusiness in Southampton. It’s been another fruitful day catching up with familiar faces — including Brian Connon, VP of Ocean Mapping with Seabed 2030 partner Saildrone, and Jake Russell, co-founder and CEO of partner Orpheus Ocean. We’ve also been making valuable new connections at our stand and even found time to watch the survey robots at work in the Southampton dockside! 🤖 Thank you to everyone who has visited our booth so far! Come see us at V1E in the dockside marquee #Hydrospatial #MarineTechnology #Subsea #OceanSurvey #UnitedWeDiscover
