What We Do
SEAF provides shared, reproducible, transparent and reusable analytics, so you can act with confidence in high-stakes environmental decisions.
It enables multiple organisations to work from the same environmental baselines, assess cumulative impacts and plan for long-term outcomes.
By turning fragmented scientific data into trusted, shared insights, SEAF reduces uncertainty in environmental decision-making.
What is seaf
The Shared Environmental Analytics Facility (SEAF)
SEAF is an initiative of The Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute (WABSI) and the Western Australian Marine Science Institution (WAMSI).
The initiative is supported by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC), government and industry partners.
Data zones
Clear data for use in safe, governed data zones.
SEAF aligns with state environmental priorities today, while building toward a national environmental intelligence capability using a hub-and-spoke model.
A central hub provides services to regional spokes in areas where development pressures or environmental monitoring require coordinated insight.
Shared understanding. Smarter decisions.
Why Seaf?
Because guesswork has no place in environmental decision-making.
SEAF connects what organisations know to what regulators see, creating one shared intelligence system that supports faster, more confident decisions for all.
