Ten years post-Malaysia Airlines Flight 370’s disappearance, Seabed 2030 embarks on a mission to map and reveal Earth’s mysterious ocean floor. A partnership between GEBCO and Nippon Foundation, the project aims to support UN Sustainable Development Goal 14. Recent discoveries, like massive seamounts near Central and South America, confirm the necessity for these mapping efforts. Seabed 2030 relies on data donations and cutting-edge technology, including uncrewed hydrographic vessels and deep learning techniques. Challenges like deep ocean and ice-covered areas persist, but collaborations worldwide aim to have a better view of our planet beneath the waves by 2030. An exciting journey into the world’s unknown depths.
