🌟 MariMap Vision
MariMap aims to become the central operating system for marine conservation, combining field data, Earth observation, and AI into a single decision‑support platform used from the shoreline to the boardroom.
Goals
- Unified Data Layer — one place for field surveys, loggers, and Earth Observation (e.g., SST, chlorophyll, mangrove extent), with clean schemas and GeoJSON geometry.
- Decision Support — practical analytics that inform restoration, monitoring plans, budgeting, and policy.
- Open & Interoperable — standard APIs, exports, and integrations to fit existing workflows without lock‑in.
Key Pillars
-
Geospatial First
Map‑centric workflows for orgs, projects, sites/plots, and layers. Keep geometry consistent to compare change over time. -
AI‑Assisted Monitoring
- Coral reefs: transects, image labelling, automated cover estimates, and quality checks.
- Mangroves: growth and biomass, species frequency, health scoring, and land/water masking.
- Extensible to other ecosystems (seagrass, saltmarsh, tidal flats) so programmes can live in one platform.
-
Reports That Matter
Stakeholder‑ready reports (PDF and web) that summarise methods, results, maps, and trends without manual formatting. -
Community & Collaboration
Orgs, roles, invitations, audit history, and notifications designed for mixed teams (NGOs, researchers, government, industry).
Roadmap Themes
-
Short term
Solidify survey flows, reporting, org/project management, and EO time series for polygons. -
Mid term
Predictive models for change detection, restoration planning tools, alerting, and automated data quality controls. -
Long term
ESG reporting and biodiversity restoration planning at scale, including support for impact/credit claims (e.g., blue carbon, biodiversity credits) with traceability and verification.
