Seabed 2030 Initiative

The Seabed 2030 Initiative aims to map the entire ocean floor by the year 2030 to better understand Earth's underwater geology, ecosystems, and resources. By coordinating data collection from governments, scientists, and organizations worldwide, it seeks to create the most complete, high-resolution map of the seabed possible. This knowledge supports sustainable ocean management, helps predict climate change effects, and enhances safety for maritime activities. The project underscores the importance of ocean exploration for environmental and economic reasons, fostering international collaboration to reveal the largely unexplored depths of our planet's oceans.
