Seabed 2030 Centers

Seabed 2030 consists of four Regional Centers and a Global Center.

The Regional Centers are responsible for championing mapping activities, assembling and compiling bathymetric information and collaborating with existing mapping initiatives within their regions. The Global Center is responsible for producing and delivering global GEBCO products.

The IHO Data Center for Digital Bathymetry and other national data repositories serve as long-term archives and, where possible, distributors of source bathymetry data sets. Seabed 2030 encourages the submission of source data to these stores. Contact the center leads for further information on how to contribute data and get involved.

In order to achieve their goals of full seafloor coverage, the Regional Centers will collaborate with existing regional mapping initiatives.
