We’re building the technology to map & understand our oceans. Quickly.

Bedrock Ocean Exploration, PBC is committed to providing the world with a free, publicly available map of our world’s oceans, 50x more detailed than the current best public map available.

We are a Public Benefit Corporation.

Bedrock is a public benefit corporation developing technology to make sure humans get ocean exploration right. We’re vowing to explore and map the entirety of Earth’s oceans. All representatives of the company—including directors and executives—are required by law to consider more than just the need to return value to shareholders. We are also required to provide a defined public benefit throughout the life of the corporation.

We take a data first approach.

Solving big data problems.
Today, subsea surveys are primarily about ships, assets, operations, and lots of people — not technology, not data. Bedrock is changing this status quo by taking a data-first approach to subsea surveying, and improving data acquisition and management across the industry.

 

We reduce costs, increase safety, and reduce risk.

No more risky human jobs—no more animal takes.
Bedrock’s technology allows us to collect seafloor data faster, more efficiently, and more cheaply. More importantly, our technology makes ocean mapping safer, with minimal environmental impact, risk of endangered animal takes, and infrastructure damage.

 

We share with the public.

Our world is relying on the oceans.
Understanding the sea is critical for a number of reasons, such as for more accurate climate models, improved weather predictions, submarine communications infrastructure, ocean safety, sustainable ocean exploration, and symbiotic human benefit of the ocean. We are on a mission to make ocean data more accessible to all. We believe we should get to know our world, and to help anyone become an explorer of our oceans.

We believe there is no future on earth without a better understanding of our oceans.

Bedrock is redesigning the marine survey experience from the ground up to pave the way for detailed mapping and interpretation of seafloor data.
