Seafloor Mapping Program

The Seafloor Mapping Program involves using advanced technology like sonar and satellites to create detailed maps of the ocean floor. This program aims to better understand underwater features, habitats, and ecosystems, which is crucial for marine conservation, navigation, and resource management. Accurate mapping helps scientists study ocean currents, identify potential hazards for shipping, and support environmental protection efforts. By exploring and mapping the seafloor, we gain insights into Earth's geology and biology, contributing to our overall knowledge of the planet's oceans and their importance to global health.
