OCEAN HEALTH

Health is more than a single number.

Assess the ocean through distinct indicators. A composite score can hide the very conditions that matter most.

Temperature

Explore SST and anomalies. A warm departure is not, by itself, a marine heatwave or a measure of ecosystem damage.

These require depth-aware measurements or validated model products. They are not inferred from satellite colour.

Observed records reflect sampling effort. Missing observations do not demonstrate absence or a healthy ecosystem.

No Happy Orbis Ocean Health Score is published. Current layers support exploration; a regional health diagnosis requires additional validated data.
