For ocean industries and financial institutions
Stronger Contributions from Ocean Industries, Better Decisions by Finance
Unleashing the power of data for a healthier ocean
Addressing the 3% Problem
Industry holds a vast, untapped resource for ocean science—yet just 3% of public ocean biodiversity data comes from companies. Most industrial ocean data remains locked behind corporate walls.
For the first time, HUB Ocean and partners are urging companies to share critical data—like bathymetry and biodiversity—to help map the ocean and uncover its unknown species. With over 80% of the ocean unmapped and up to 90% of species undiscovered, this data is vital for science, policy, and sustainable business.
Now is the time for corporate leaders to embrace transparency and commit to public ocean data sharing. Read our report to learn more.
Are you an industry leader seeking a trusted home for sharing your ocean data? Maybe you’ve even started building your own platform. Do you want to amplify your data’s impact by connecting with a wider range of stakeholders on ODP?
The Ocean Data Platform (ODP) is the ideal place for companies ready to engage or share their ocean data. Today, data sharing is often complex and costly—requiring custom platforms and dedicated teams—so it’s rarely prioritized. ODP removes these barriers with powerful infrastructure that transforms your data to FAIR standards and makes it accessible, whether with fine-grained access control or open to the world. As transparency becomes essential, ODP empowers forward-looking companies to lead and support sustainability goals.
New Home for Industry Ocean Data Sharing & Collaboration
Whether you're an industry leader, a private company, or part of a public-private initiative, the Ocean Data Platform (ODP) is built to support your data-sharing goals.
We Want to Work with You
Entire Industries
Have extensive ocean data but no platform to share it and collaborate on it? ODP offers a trusted, scalable solution. See how we support the Norwegian aquaculture industry.
Private Companies
Share data securely, connect with global stakeholders, and unlock new opportunities. From TGS to Ecowende and the Aker companies, explore our growing list of use cases.
Public-Private Initiatives
From ocean pollution to plastics, ODP powers large-scale data aggregation and cross-sector collaboration to drive impact.
Fit for Purpose Ocean Data Insights
Businesses today are expected to measure, disclose, and manage ocean-related risks—including those occurring in the ocean itself. But ocean data isn’t reaching those that need it the most.
HUB Ocean’s Ocean Data Platform makes this easier by aggregating high-quality data into one accessible resource. It enables fast, reliable analysis by combining ecosystem and asset data, helping companies make smarter decisions and report with confidence. Unlock nature insights—faster, easier, and with greater impact.
At the moment, we are co-developing and testing Ocean Sensitive Areas, which brings together the best available data on ecosystems, habitats, species, migration routes, spawning areas in the ocean - making this information fit-for-purpose in the private sector, helping organizations unlock nature insights—faster, easier, and with greater impact. Ocean Sensitive Areas data product lives on the Ocean Data Platform in its premium tier.
SPOTLIGHT
Ocean Sensitive Areas

Use Cases
You can’t measure impact if you don’t know where nature is. HUB Ocean bridges this gap by bringing fit-for-purpose ocean data and tools into financial decision-making. In 2024 and 2025, we made major strides in shaping the future of nature-related finance to help companies and financial institutions understand, measure, and disclose their impacts and dependencies on ocean nature. We are collaborating closely with organizations like TNFD, NPI, ORRAA, WWF and more, along with developing use cases directly with financial institutions.
