The Seabed 2030 project is seeking feedback from bodies and agencies with national or agency responsibilities for seabed mapping.

The aim is to see whether those bodies’ aims align with or differ from Seabed 2030’s view on benefits analysis and prioritisation of modelling development.

To this end, the project is asking interested parties to take part in an online survey.

The current survey follows on from one conducted in 2021–22, which sought to learn about the status and potential of mapping the ocean floor.

The findings of that first survey have been studied, and needs and priorities have been identified for seabed mapping in those waters that currently remain uncharted.
