Memorial joins global effort to map ocean floor by 2030

Memorial University’s Fisheries and Marine Institute has officially joined the Seabed 2030 Project. Seabed 2030 is a collaborative effort between The Nippon Foundation and The General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) that seeks to map the world’s ocean by 2030 and store all bathymetric data in a freely accessible GEBCO Ocean Map. “We are delighted to partner with Seabed 2030 in this groundbreaking initiative,” said Memorial VP Dr Paul Brett. “Our institution has long been dedicated to advancing marine science and technology, and this collaboration aligns perfectly with our vision of fostering a sustainable ocean through knowledge and innovation.”
