BioBase undergoes acquisition by independant investors

The automated cloud mapping platform for inland and coastal waterways, BioBase (biobasemaps.com), has recently undergone a change in ownership. Formerly under the Navico Group, a division of the Brunswick Corporation, BioBase has now been acquired by an independent group of investors and will now operate as BioBase LLC with operations in St. Paul, MN USA.

BioBase is a subscription-based mapping platform that processes sonar files from off-the-shelf marine electronic brands Lowrance® and Simrad® in the cloud, generating detailed bathymetric, seagrass or kelp, and bottom composition maps. Users can export maps and datasets in a variety of GIS formats.

“The team is enthusiastic about this new chapter and is eager to solidify BioBase as the premier solution for automated mapping derived from sonar files. Whether it’s mapping depth, aquatic vegetation, or bottom composition, we’re committed to delivering high value maps and datasets with minimal effort and cost. This allows aquatic and fisheries professionals to focus on the important work of aquatic management and conservation and not making a map” stated BioBase President and Product Expert, Ray Valley.
