Did you know that eric schmidt funds a deep sea drone submersible project out of alameda to map and sensor the oceans... its funded under his and his wifes foundation, but basically its a secret project to map the oceans. They want to be first to own all that data

A 501(c)(3) dedicated to open sharing of data is an odd vehicle for trying to competitively own data.

That project has been defunct for years. The company that claimed they could do it (and never even got started) has pivoted to Navy research projects.

The odds that the military already owns a lot of it (from operating submarine sonar and all of the things that come with it) are pretty high.

It's called Schmidt Ocean Institute... not a huge secret.
