Researchers develop novel bathymetric framework for high-accuracy shallow-water mapping
Shallow seas serve as critical transition zones connecting land and the deep ocean, supplying essential resources for navigation, fisheries, energy exploration, and island reef development. Accurate bathymetric data form the foundation for marine engineering, channel safety, resource assessment, and ecological restoration. However, nearly 50% of global shallow-water areas still lack reliable depth information, creating a major barrier to coastal management and sustainable ocean development.
