Seafloor Mapping: Driving Ocean Action
On the occasion of World Hydrography Day, the Hellenic Navy Hydrographic Service underscores the crucial role that seafloor mapping plays in ensuring navigation safety, protecting marine life, advancing scientific exploration and supporting informed decision-making in both civilian and defense context.
Seabed mapping constitutes the cornerstone of our understanding and stewardship of the marine environment, allowing us to gain a deeper knowledge of our marine ecosystems, climate change effect, and sustainable resource handling. In this endeavor, the Hellenic Navy Hydrographic Service continues to contribute with essential data and expertise, enabling Greece to meet modern maritime challenges with accuracy, supporting the international maritime community.
While the oceans become an increasingly contested and complex environment, seabed mapping stands as a vital tool in promoting security, sustainability and cooperation across the maritime domain. As we commemorate Hydrography’s contributions, we reaffirm our commitment to expanding ocean knowledge through innovative seabed mapping and fostering sustainable marine management.
