The UK government’s Geospatial Commission has joined the UK Centre for Seabed Mapping (UK CSM) to enhance the coverage of seabed mapping data in the UK.
The UK CSM, managed by the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO), the government department charged with mapping the seas, aims to coordinate the collection, management, and access of seabed mapping data to support various sectors including trade, environmental management, national security, and infrastructure.
The collaboration between the Geospatial Commission and UK CSM aims to optimise the use of the UK’s seabed mapping and data resources for decision-making and national security.
