30x30 means protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030. The goal is clear. The bottleneck is not ambition, it’s coverage: data gaps and slow, manual analysis that can’t keep up with the scale. AI helps clear the backlog by mapping where the evidence is strong and where it’s missing, so decisions are based on measurable, validated datasets. That includes faster labeling for wildlife recognition, quicker review of imagery and acoustic signals, and better prioritization of surveys where the ocean is still under-sampled. If you’re working toward 30x30, what’s the biggest data gap you run into most often: biodiversity, habitat maps, or human activity? #OceanData #30x30 #MarineScience #AIforGood
