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 'GeoTIFF' heatmap for 'QGIS', contour lines, and a
formatted PDF or HTML report. Supports fourteen species across global
aquaculture regions, including Ostrea edulis, Magallana gigas, Crassostrea
virginica, Crassostrea hongkongensis, and ten further species; see
list_species(). Includes 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.
