The Cape Verde Ocean Institute provides seabed relief data
The Cape Verde Ocean Institute (IMAR) provides data on the seabed relief of the Exclusive Economic Zone of Cape Verde, collected during various national and international scientific cruises. The initiative, developed in close collaboration with the Hydrographic Institute (IH) of the Portuguese Navy, primarily responsible for maintaining the nautical cartography of the area, aims to support the international project SEABED 2030 and, consequently, the goals of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
The geographic information system GridmarCV provides grids of bathymetric data with resolutions that vary according to depth, contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of the sea, supporting research and promoting development.
An initiative that will certainly have a significant impact on increasing global knowledge about the ocean and seafloor morphology.
Available resolutions:
- 50m-250m depth range – Resolution 32m
- 250m-1000m depth range – Resolution 64m
- 1000m-2000m depth range – Resolution 128m
- 2000m-4000m depth range – Resolution 256m
- +4000m depth range – Resolution 512m
