The UK Hydrographic Office is a leading centre for hydrography, providing marine geospatial data to inform maritime decisions, supporting maritime navigation, safety, security and marine development around the UK and worldwide.

The SDRA system is used to register and catalogue around 60,000 sources each year and the assessment of these sources results in over 7,000 Notices to Mariners being issued.
