Crowdsourced Bathymetry Questionnaire

Motivations for participating in Crowdsourced Bathymetry activities within the maritime community.

The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) defines Crowdsourced Bathymetry (CSB) as 'depth measurements from vessels, collected using standard navigation instruments, while engaged in routine maritime operations'.

A team within the IHO Crowdsourced Bathymetry Working Group
is currently working on a recognition and incentive strategy and is seeking the views of those both already involved in CSB activities and those previously unaware of this initiative.

If you are currently an IHO CSB commercial (software or hardware) or non-commercial Trusted Node, please see our separate questionnaire, 'Motivations for participating in Crowdsourced Bathymetry within the IHO Trusted Node community'.
