WIO Symphony is a web tool that supports ecosystem-based marine spatial planning in the Western Indian Ocean. It was co-developed by a team led by the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (SwAM) and 10 member states of the Nairobi convention. A dataset from HUB Ocean is central in this marine spatial planning tool and provides valuable shipping data.

In this blog, head of the Ocean Data Platform Jo Øvstaas invites you to imagine a world where ocean data catalogs dance with knowledge graphs and AI, revealing hidden treasures of marine life with the flick of a finger, taking us on a journey to explore and protect our oceans like never before

We are proud to honour our Science Lead, Anna Silyakova, who has been named one of Norway’s Top 50 Women in Tech by Norwegian associations Oda and Abelia. Over the past two years, Anna has worked to build up HUB Ocean’s connections to the global ocean science community to achieve a healthier ocean.

 Why does ocean data matter and why should it matter to you? We’ve gathered the most common questions about ocean data and answered them for you; for example what is is, how it is collected and used. And more importantly - how it will help us make the world a better place. Welcome to our "Ocean Data Easily Explained".

We at HUB Ocean always say privately-owned industrial ocean data must be unlocked for the benefit of science, but why has this not already happened? What are the barriers? Do industries — for example, shipping, fisheries, or energy companies — know what data scientists really need? Do scientists know what data exists?

We’ve been working together with Copenhagen Business School, Green Digital Finance Alliance, S&P Global and WWF Denmark to develop a tool that will provide blue metrics to Nordic financial institutions. That way they monitor how their actions impact the ocean.

In September, we finished our “Private Preview” testing period with close to 50 highly skilled data scientists. Their feedback was very promising - and immensely valuable.

What can a methane-sniffing satellite that picked up the Nord Streams ruptures tell us about the future on managing the ocean? Our Head of Platform, Jo Øvstaas, discusses how the future scenarios are (almost) here. 

Using ocean data to create a relationship of care between us humans and with the ocean.

My first expedition to Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, was about observing, absorbing, and participating in big data collection in action.

HUB Ocean celebrates a very special occasion. We are moving into private preview with four new products in the Ocean Data Platform.

Norwegian industry builder Kjell Inge Røkke takes on a high-level role to support the UN Decade of Ocean Science and unlock industrial ocean data

“They told us to “nerd out”. That is exactly what we did”. The winning team from the Philippines took on the Shipping challenge. And nailed it with their prototype “AVERA”.

As McKinsey says in its Insights, the shipping sector is the lifeblood of global trade, accounting for approximately 80% of all trade, with further growth expected. The industry also represents about 3 percent of total CO2 emissions—an amount that, if unchecked, could increase by as much as 50% by 2050.  

Today, the Norwegian Seafood Federation and HUB Ocean formally launched the new Salmon Lice app. Fish health personnel call it “a dream come true.”

It´s not a “hot” topic in the world where words like artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and digital twin of the ocean are flying around.

Women in Ocean Science have come a long way, but we still have a good distance left before we close the gap between number of male and female senior ocean scientists.

Throughout my career, I’ve always found working with authentication systems to be intimidating and challenging due to the technical jargon and critical nature of such systems in modern software.
