Important nature data about our ocean isn’t reaching those who require it the most. Limited knowledge comes from data gaps and scattered information, making it harder to measure and reduce human impacts on ocean ecosystems. That is why we are building Ocean Sensitive Areas.
Ocean Sensitive Areas
Harmonised ocean biodiversity data for informed decision making
Features
Ocean Nature Data
Ocean Sensitive Areas offers global data products mapping critical marine habitats and species, enabling impact assessments of human activities. Our standardized approach serves policymakers, industry leaders, and scientists, scaling from local to global.
Aggregated and Harmonized
Combining diverse ocean datasets and conducting meaningful analyses requires specialized expertise and significant time investment. Our approach simplifies integration and streamlines analysis, making it easy for users to unlock insights.
Impact Ready
Nature based reporting
For financial institutions and companies wanting to understand their risk towards ocean biodiversity. Asset data is overlayed onto Ocean Sensitive Areas and assessed against the sensitivity matrix to give a risk metrics toward each present ecosystem component.
Designating areas for protection
For governments and non-governmental actors in understanding which areas of the ocean require protection based on where nature is and the impact of different pressures.
Environmental Impact Assessments
Companies assessing potential development sites can use Ocean Sensitive Areas to assess optimal sites for their activities and optimise site selection based on minimising risk towards sensitive areas.
