New map brings improved ocean insights
What we do
Our purpose is to create and publicly share knowledge about human activity at sea to enable fair and sustainable use of our ocean.
We use cutting-edge technology to turn big data into actionable information. We believe human activity at sea should be common knowledge in order to safeguard the global ocean for the good of all.
