Seafloor Mapping Committee

The Seafloor Mapping Committee is a group dedicated to coordinating and promoting the mapping of the ocean floor. Understanding the seabed is crucial for various reasons, including navigation, environmental protection, resource management, and marine research. The committee works to bring together scientists, policymakers, and industry professionals to share data and technologies that improve our knowledge of underwater landscapes. Their efforts help inform decisions about marine conservation, sustainable development, and disaster preparedness, ensuring that ocean resources are used responsibly and effectively.
