marine geospatial data management

Marine geospatial data management involves collecting, organizing, and maintaining information about the Earth's oceans and underwater features. This includes data on seabed topography, underwater habitats, shipping routes, and marine resources. Advanced technology like sonar, satellites, and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is used to gather and analyze this data. Effective management ensures accurate mapping, supports maritime navigation, environmental protection, resource extraction, and scientific research. It requires careful data storage, sharing, and updating processes to provide reliable information for decision-making in marine and coastal activities.
