Investing in marine data and evidence to drive change and promote sustainable ways in the use of data.
With an increasingly busy seabed and the dual crisis of climate change and biodiversity loss, it is critical that development decisions are based on data and evidence to maximise growth in secure, affordable green energy, whilst also protecting and restoring the UK’s thriving marine ecosystems.
We have a unique position as the manager of the seabed around England, Wales and Northern Ireland to take a long-term view across many sectors, interests and industries. As trusted experts on the seabed, we recognise the importance of bringing together a wide range of marine stakeholders - from governments and developers, to academics and environmental groups - to make efficient use of data, address evidence gaps and drive positive change in the sustainable development of the seabed.
Created by The Crown Estate in 2013, the Marine Data Exchange is a world-leading database of research and evidence, freely available to everyone. Watch our video to learn more.
