The UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) has created a gateway to data portals, enabling people to access and download statistical information and filter it by specific SDG (ESCAP, 2019). From here, the Resource Watch, which provides hundreds of datasets on the state of the planet and human well-being, can be accessed (ResourceWatch, 2019).
Filtering the data by the world oceans will render dozens of layers containing relevant hydrographic, oceanographic, biological, shipping and other information that users can combine for their own analysis. This is an example of how a HIS can support this important global endeavour.
A HIS organizes hydrographic, oceanographic and other maritime data to focus on the business value of three main areas: marine environment, the blue economy, and maritime safety and security.
Recognizing that demand for hydrographic data is growing, and developing the technology to address those demands are the first steps to going beyond charting. A clear vision will be required to establish the strategy for determining the destination of the HOs and the route to successfully reach the next geospatial frontier using HIS.
