Abstract

This use case highlights the development of user-friendly water quality dashboards for stations along the Central and Northern California coastline, designed to support California’s coastal aquaculture industry. By transforming near real-time data from CeNCOOS coastal shore stations into accessible, actionable tools, aquaculturists can better monitor changing ocean conditions near their operations. Co-designed with industry input, these dashboards provide critical insights into trends such as marine heatwaves, hypoxia, and phytoplankton blooms.
