oystermapR: Predict and Map Oyster Growth Suitability from Environmental
Data
Predicts spatial suitability for oyster growth from environmental
survey data using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) weighted scoring.
Users supply sensor data from Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP),
Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) sensors, bathymetric sonar, and
sidescan sonar, specify a target species, and receive per-location
suitability scores, a five-band 'GeoTIFF' heatmap for 'QGIS', contour
lines, and a formatted PDF or HTML report. Supports seventeen species across
global aquaculture regions, including Ostrea edulis, Magallana gigas,
Crassostrea virginica, Crassostrea hongkongensis, and thirteen further
species; see list_species(). Includes ocean acidification scoring via
in-house aragonite saturation state (Omega_arag) calculation using
Lueker et al. (2000) <doi:10.1016/S0304-4203(00)00022-0> and Mucci (1983)
<doi:10.1357/002224083788520153> equilibrium constants (no external
dependencies), variable impact diagnostics (variable_impact()), fine-scale
habitat area analysis for restoration reporting in m2 with contiguous patch
identification (area_summary()), tolerance curve visualisation
(plot_tolerance()), season-aware scoring, tidal height correction, Bayesian
tolerance parameter updating from field observations, spatial block
cross-validation (Roberts et al., 2017, <doi:10.1111/ecog.02881>),
permutation variable importance, wave exposure and sediment stability
modules, Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) risk and anthropogenic disturbance
scoring with optional live International Council for the Exploration of the
Sea (ICES) data integration, hybrid larval dispersal connectivity scoring
(union-find Gaussian kernel plus optional 'OpenDrift' or Finite Volume
Community Ocean Model ('FVCOM') connectivity matrix), and batch
multi-species comparison.
