Marine Geospatial Data
Marine geospatial data refers to information that maps and characterizes the physical features and environments of the ocean and seabed. It includes details like underwater topography (bathymetry), positions of ships and marine structures, water depth, currents, and habitat distributions. This data is gathered using tools like sonar, satellites, and underwater drones. It helps scientists, navigators, and policymakers make informed decisions about navigation safety, marine conservation, resource management, and environmental protection, ensuring accurate understanding and sustainable use of ocean spaces.
