I built an interactive 3D map of every deep-sea mining concession + hydrothermal vents, seamounts, and real-time Argo float data
I have developed an interactive 3D map that visualizes every deep-sea mining concession, hydrothermal vent, and seamount, integrating real-time Argo float data. The International Seabed Authority has issued exploration and exploitation contracts across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, yet there has been no effective way to visualize their locations, overlaps with ecosystems, or potential sediment plume drift from mining activities. This comprehensive map includes all ISA contracts, 721 known hydrothermal vent fields, and 19,617 seamounts, utilizing open-source data for transparency and accessibility.

Imagine a living, breathing model of our ocean that anticipates changes before they occur—this is the 'Digital Twin' of the ocean, a pivotal element of the UN Ocean Decade. At World Data Ocean, we are transforming raw data into actionable intelligence by merging validated scientific datasets with real-time sensors. This innovative platform enables researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore complex marine ecosystems through an interactive, predictive tool. Together, we are fostering a more transparent and sustainable ocean for future generations. Discover more at worlddataocean.com.
