Why CSB ?

Participating in the CSB Initiative benefits both those collecting the data and the communities of  data users. These data contribute to increasing our knowledge, information which supports local regional and global initiatives in favour of the sustainable use of the oceans. They can also contribute to improved knowledge of seabed topography and better bathymetric maps or hydrographic charts in previously uncharted areas or areas lacking accurate data. This in turn can help avoid groundings and make navigation safer for all.

Importance of Hydrography

Definition of Hydrography Hydrography is the branch of applied sciences which deals with the measurement and description of the physical features of oceans, seas, coastal areas, lakes and rivers, as well as with the prediction of their change over time, for the primary purpose of safety of navigation and in support of all other marine activities, including economic development, security and defence, scientific research, and environmental protection. In addition to supporting safe and efficient navigation of ships, hydrography underpins almost every other activity associated with the sea, including: - resource exploitation - fishing, minerals,.. - environmental protection and management - maritime boundary delimitation - national marine spatial data infrastructures - recreational boating - maritime defence and security - tsunami flood and inundation modelling - coastal zone management - tourism - marine science
