SeaZone works closely with statutory mapping agencies and data partners in the UK and Overseas. SeaZone collates and adds value to data from other agencies to provide complete base and associate reference information.

Under the auspices of the Marine Data and Information Partnership (MDIP), to which SeaZone is a major contributor, SeaZone is promoting best data management practises and inter-operability amongst stakeholders and encouraging the uptake of the Digital National Framework (DNF).

SeaZone actively encourages marine data providers from both the public and private sectors to provide data to the national mapping agencies and to SeaZone to improve the UK’s base mapping on land and sea. For more information on the benefits of becoming a SeaZone Data Partner, please contact us.
