Every ping brings us closer to understanding the seafloor, and we're proud to be part of this global endeavor.

Researchers develop novel bathymetric framework for high-accuracy shallow-water mapping Shallow seas serve as critical transition zones connecting land and the deep ocean, supplying essential resources for navigation, fisheries, energy exploration, and island reef development. Accurate bathymetric data form the foundation for marine engineering, channel safety, resource assessment, and ecological restoration. However, nearly 50% of global shallow-water areas still lack reliable depth information, creating a major barrier to coastal management and sustainable ocean development.

Hidden depths! 🌊 Half our shallow seas remain uncharted—vital links for life, resources & safety. Unlocking these secrets is key to our ocean’s future. 🗺️ #OceanMapping

PHL gains 18,119.84 square kilometers of coastal mapping data via satellite image AROUND 74 percent of the ocean currently remains unmapped—a gap that experts say limits understanding of climate change, ecosystems and marine navigation.

🌍 Proud to support #Seabed2030 through our nonprofit arm, @GreenwaterFdn.

Together with @CaladanOceanic, TCarta & Nippon Foundation-GEBCO, we helped deliver 18,119 sq km of coastal mapping data to the Philippines.
