Meet Our Team
Originally developed in 2013, the Marine Data Exchange is the World's largest resource of marine industry survey data, research and evidence.
With an increasingly busy seabed space and the dual crisis of climate change and biodiversity loss, it is critical that development decisions are based on sound science in order to maximise growth in secure, affordable green energy, whilst also protecting and restoring the UK’s precious marine ecosystems.
By making the wealth of data collected by offshore industries freely available through the Marine Data Exchange, we give offshore projects in the UK a valuable head start, helping those involved to make informed, evidence-based decisions and to address consenting and planning challenges.
We know that there is huge potential for the Marine Data Exchange to further unlock value on the seabed and are continuing to develop the platform alongside the needs and requirements of our customers and stakeholders.
Diverse skills and an empowered team are paramount to the ongoing success of the Marine Data Exchange. From marine biologists and geospatial specialists, to software engineers and web designers, we work together in collaboration to build a platform that is user-driven and design-led.
