The OECD predicts the value added by the Blue Economy will reach USD 3 trillion in 2030, with significant increases in fisheries, off-shore infrastructure, and port activities.
Science, technology, and innovation play a critical role in protecting our fragile oceans from this economic development, and preserving it for future generations.
Better access to marine forecasting and other oceanographic data can help improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of shipping, fisheries, offshore infrastructure, and other maritime activities.
Our company has developed a web API to ocean data sources, including:
- Global Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (Global RTOFS) developed by the US National Weather Service, which provides currents, salinity, and temperature at particular coordinates and depth;
- General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) - giving ocean depths (hot bonus: elevation of land) at any latitude and longitude; and
- NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) Biogeochemistry Forecast and Hindcasts, which is effectively a time machine of the entire ocean's chemistry o.O
Let us know here (or via our website) if you have any questions, feedback, or need help getting started.
