Crowdsourced Bathymetry Questionnaire (Trusted Nodes)

Motivation for participating in Crowdsourced Bathymetry activities in the IHO Trusted Node 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 not an IHO CSB commercial (software or hardware) or non-commercial Trusted Node, please see our separate questionnaire, 'Motivations for participating in Crowdsourced Bathymetry activities within the maritime community'.
