Migration timing, harmful algal blooms, hypoxia, closures — mixed provenance and genuinely awkward.
Sources are sparse, awkward, or of a different provenance shape.
Modelled or radar-derived density over an area for a night.
Forecast or observed bloom extent and intensity.
Surveyed extent of low-oxygen water.
That a bed was closed by order, and when.
Counted passage at a monitored facility.
An analyst or a model produced this from other data. It is a product, not a sensor.
Someone recorded that a thing happened. An observation, not a reading.
An instrument read a value at a place and a time.
Covers an area, not a point. There is no nearest station, and we will not invent one.
Measured at a fixed station. The record discloses which one and how far it is from you.
An authoritative body's analytical product. Its uncertainty is the source's own.
Published by an authoritative operator of the instrument.
Mixed provenance in a single lane — some sensor, some model, some human survey. Distinguishing them is a real design cost and it is the reason this lane is exploring rather than planned.
Not named here yet. Candidate sources for this lane exist and are identified internally, but they have not been verified against the primary documentation — and an unverified source attribution on a public page is the exact mistake this company exists to avoid. They appear here when they have been checked, not before.
A wind or aviation strike claim turning on migration density that night. An oyster lease loss following a closure. A permit condition tied to a species window. A fish kill attributed to a discharge.
That framing is our analysis of where disputes arise, not a claim of fact about any matter.
We are not capturing this lane today, so there is nothing here to sell you and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What we do want is to know what you would actually ask it. Requests decide what gets built next — that is not a courtesy, it is how the order is set.
