Your pledge

From shallow to deep, EMODnet Bathymetry keeps gathering bathymetry data from government, research and industry for refining its Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the European seas, serving many uses.

What motives you to make a pledge for the Ocean ?

Worldwide, only 20% of the ocean's seafloor has been mapped. Bathymetry (measurement of the water depth) is fundamental to a lot of use (pure science down to socio-economic). Further effort is needed to get a more detailed picture of the what our own planet looks like
