Lakebed 2030

The Great Lakes have never been mapped in detail. Though many maps of the Great Lakes show the shape and depth of the lake floor they are created using data that is sometimes decades old and low-density.
Modern, high-density data enables an extremely detailed map and is critical for effective management, research, and innovation, particularly under mounting climate change threats and a growing blue economy in the Great Lakes region.
Begun as a grassroots regional initiative that harmonizes governmental and non-governmental efforts, Lakebed 2030 is dedicated to bringing together new and existing bathymetric data and technologies to create a new map of the Great Lakes that is easy to use and open to everyone.
