On March 1st , CoSV hosted the webinar entitled “Results of the 2022 Global Deep-Sea Capacity Assessment”. This webinar was presented by Dr. Katy Croff Bell, founder and president of the Ocean Discovery League, for a discussion about the state of ocean exploration technology around the world, and what we can do to improve equitable marine geoscience practice and accessibility.

Abstract:
The 2022 Global Deep-Sea Capacity Assessment is a baseline assessment of the technical and human capacity for deep-sea exploration and research in every coastal area with deep ocean worldwide. To our knowledge, it is the most comprehensive global assessment of deep-sea capabilities ever conducted. From 200 to nearly 11,000 meters below sea level, the deep sea encompasses the single largest—and arguably the most critical—biosphere on Earth. Globally, nearly two-thirds of all exclusive economic zones (EEZs) combined have water depths between 2,000 and 6,000 meters, making this a particularly critical depth range to access.
This assessment includes information for 186 GeoAreas divided into six global regions: Europe, Asia, Northern America, Africa, Oceania, and Latin America & the Caribbean. “GeoArea” includes sovereign countries and dependent territories. These data were collected through both an online survey and manual research. While many of the findings in this assessment were not, on the surface, surprising, the results were more nuanced than expected. We documented previously underreported details, from the available human capacity to possible vessel access. The 2022 Global Deep-Sea Capacity Assessment is an officially endorsed activity of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
