Savvy Navvy Joins ProtectedSeas to Offer Regulatory Information to Boaters

Boaters worldwide can now access a comprehensive resource of ocean regulatory information, including marine protection areas, through the savvy navvy app. This is made possible through the collaboration between savvy navvy and ProtectedSeas, a data-driven and ocean-focused business headquartered in Silicon Valley, California. The collaboration aims to empower boaters with information to make more environmentally conscious decisions while out on the water.

ProtectedSeas Navigator provides boaters with 22,000 marine protected and managed areas in more than 220 countries across the world. This includes speed-limit zones to protect marine mammals, fisheries management areas among other protections.

ProtectedSeas scoured the globe to compile marine protection information into the Navigator database of marine protected areas (MPAs), both large and small, including creating the first public digital maps for over 2,400 areas—or roughly 10 percent of the areas included in the database. Launching their digital data after eight years of research and development, savvy navvy is delighted to bring the Navigator data to boaters and watersports users all over the world via their app.

Since launching their first global view of marine life protections, ProtectedSeas has been complimented by several industry-renowned leaders and bodies, including the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Dr. Sylvia Earle, and the governor of California.

savvy navvy is an award winning boat navigation app that brings everything you need for a seamless boating experience, all in one place. They are one of the first to integrate multiple sustainable data sources from different conservation agencies and bodies.

Some of the ProtectedSeas data is already live in the savvy navvy app now, with more to follow soon. To find out more about the sustainable data or to download the app visit http://www.savvy-navvy.com/preservation/protectedseas .
