The scale of operation is local national and global shorelines bays seaways national EEZ's ocean basins and worldwide. The database deals with coastal estuarine inshore continental shelf continental slope and very deep-sea environments. dbSEABED creates unified detailed mappings of the materials that make the seafloor by efficiently integrating thousands of individual datasets. The goal is to bring decades of seabed information and today's information from marine geology biology engineering and surveys into one seabed mapping that can fulfill the community's needs for ocean bottom information on many spatial scales. The system deals with seabed texture composition acoustic properties color geology and biology.
