PTTEP develops Ocean Data Platform to support marine conservation in the Gulf of Thailand

Under this initiative, meteorological data and oceanographic data such as air temperature, wind direction, water temperature, and ocean current mapping, etc., have been collected, In collaboration with several partners including the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, Hydro-Informatics Institute (Public Organization) and Kasetsart University.

PTTEP Ocean Data Platform also shows microplastics level and is designed to monitor and identify aquatic species around the jackets of petroleum platforms to preserve biodiversity abundance. The platform also incorporates information of PTTEP's ongoing projects aimed at supporting the livelihoods of coastal communities. The available ocean science data can serve as key inputs to support marine science education and research in Thailand, and to enhance the effectiveness of ocean conservation and restoration plan. That includes the enhancement of ocean mathematical models to predict marine debris dispersion, ocean current patterns affecting coral breaching and recovery, impacts of global warming and potential impacts to the ecosystem.
