Greenwater Foundation has worked alongside Caladan Oceanic and TCarta—both longstanding Seabed 2030 partners—to generate and contribute SDB data that is strengthening global understanding of the ocean floor in support of climate research, marine conservation, and sustainable resource management.

The Foundation’s mission is to accelerate marine conservation by helping scientists access vessels and ocean science assets worldwide. Its work includes advancing coastal mapping through SDB contributions and developing cost-effective machine learning approaches designed to generate mapping data at significantly reduced cost. Its broader focus spans ocean resiliency, ocean plastic pollution, and marine biodiversity.

Seabed 2030 is a collaborative project between The Nippon Foundation and the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO), which seeks to inspire the complete mapping of the world’s ocean and to compile all the data into the freely available GEBCO Ocean Map.…
