HARNESSING NEW TECHNOLOGY
MAPPING ALL OF THE WORLD’S SEABED
by 2030
Tapping into Local Networks to Build a Global Movement
No one can do it on their own. It would take a single ship with an echo sounder 350 years to map the Seabed. Seabed 2030 consists of four regional centers and a global center. Each regional center is responsible for their own region. You can help by: donating data, time, computing power, access to ships or data monitoring.
“WE KNOW MORE ABOUT MARS THAN THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN”
Unesco
Yohei Sasakawa; Chair of the Nippon Foundation
“The ocean crisis is silently approaching, we must share that sense of crisis and think together on how to conserve the oceans; unless we do that there will be no future for mankind.”
Professor Martin Jakobsson; Seabed 2030
“We are not just trying to benefit a small set of scientists, we are trying to benefit the whole of humanity. We need to understand the Earth we are living on in order to take care of it.”
