Established by members of the GEBCO-Nippon Foundation Alumni Team – grand prize winners of the Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE Competition – Map the Gaps is a non-profit corporation committed to growing awareness, increasing diversity, and promoting equity in ocean mapping. Map the Gaps is a volunteer based organisation, comprising marine mapping professionals, students, industry partners, and alumni from The Nippon Foundation/ GEBCO Training Program in ocean bathymetry from the University of New Hampshire’s Center for Coastal Ocean Mapping.
Map the Gaps can also leverage a diverse community of alumni and other skilled persons to support mapping expeditions and data processing to support initiatives such as Seabed 2030.
