Strategic Ocean Intelligence for Sustainable Yield, Trade Optimization, and Climate Resilience

Geo-Marine Production Mapping (GMPM) is a high-resolution, multi-layered ocean intelligence system designed to map, analyze, and forecast marine biological productivity at regional and global scales.

The system integrates satellite data, oceanographic modeling, fisheries catch data, climate variables, and trade analytics to deliver actionable intelligence for:

• Fishing companies
• Port authorities
• Cold chain logistics operators
• Maritime investors
• Governments and regulators
• Sustainable finance platforms

Geo-Marine Production Mapping transforms raw marine data into operational, financial, and strategic insight.

1. Conceptual Framework

Geo-Marine Production Mapping is built on the premise that marine productivity is not static — it is dynamic, climate-sensitive, and economically leveraged.

The system maps five interlinked layers:

1. Biological Productivity Layer
   • Chlorophyll concentration (proxy for phytoplankton biomass)
   • Primary production rates
   • Species distribution modeling
   • Spawning and nursery grounds
2. Oceanographic Dynamics Layer
   • Sea surface temperature (SST)
   • Salinity gradients
   • Upwelling intensity
   • Currents and gyres
   • Thermocline depth
3. Climate Interaction Layer
   • ENSO influence (El Niño / La Niña cycles)
   • Marine heatwaves
   • Ocean acidification zones
   • Long-term warming trends
4. Operational Activity Layer
   • AIS vessel tracking
   • Catch density heatmaps
   • Fleet concentration
   • Illegal, unreported, unregulated (IUU) risk indicators
5. Trade & Infrastructure Layer
   • Port throughput
   • Cold chain corridors
   • Export flows
   • Processing hub capacity

Together, these layers form a geo-intelligent decision matrix.

---

2. Data Architecture

Geo-Marine Production Mapping integrates multiple data sources:

• Satellite remote sensing (MODIS, Sentinel, NOAA)
• ARGO float networks
• Regional oceanographic institutes
• AIS maritime traffic databases
• FAO fisheries statistics
• National customs and trade databases
• Climate forecasting centers

The system applies:

• Geospatial interpolation
• Species distribution modeling (SDM)
• Machine learning yield prediction
• Temporal anomaly detection
• Multi-variable regression modeling

All datasets are normalized into a unified GIS-based intelligence platform.

---

3. Core Functional Outputs

A. Marine Productivity Heatmaps

Dynamic maps displaying:

• Biomass intensity
• Seasonal productivity cycles
• Migration corridors
• High-probability catch zones

Updated in near real-time.

---

B. Species-Specific Mapping

For each target species:

• Habitat suitability index
• Temperature tolerance band
• Reproductive zone mapping
• Climate shift migration vector

This enables adaptive fleet strategy.

---

C. Climate Stress Detection

The system identifies:

• Thermal stress zones
• Acidification hotspots
• Oxygen minimum zones
• Collapse risk regions

This supports:

• Early warning systems
• Policy planning
• Investment risk mitigation

---

D. Yield Forecasting Models

Geo-Marine Production Mapping generates:

• 3–6 month short-term yield projections
• 12–24 month seasonal outlook
• Multi-year climate-adjusted production scenarios

This connects directly with:

• Supply-Demand Analytics
• Price Index & Forecasting
• Trade Network Optimization

---

4. Operational Applications

Fishing Companies

• Optimize fleet routing
• Reduce fuel costs
• Increase catch efficiency

5. Integration with PortsFish Ecosystem

Geo-Marine Production Mapping is not a standalone tool. It integrates directly with:

• Strategic Port Network
• Cold Chain Logistics Corridors
• Price Index & Forecasting Dashboard
• Climate & Fishing Impact Intelligence
• Sustainable Product Certification

This enables a closed-loop intelligence cycle:

Ocean → Port → Trade → Finance → Climate Feedback

---

6. Competitive Differentiation

Unlike traditional fisheries statistics, which are historical and static, Geo-Marine Production Mapping provides:

• Predictive modeling instead of retrospective reporting
• Multi-layer intelligence rather than single-variable analysis
• Climate-adjusted projections
• Trade-linked operational outputs

It transforms marine ecosystems into strategic, data-driven infrastructure assets.

---

7. Strategic Vision

Geo-Marine Production Mapping positions PortsFish.Agency as:

• A maritime intelligence platform
• A climate-risk monitoring node
• A fisheries trade optimization engine
• A sustainable finance data backbone

In a world of warming oceans and volatile supply chains, precision marine intelligence becomes critical infrastructure.

PortsFish does not simply track fish.

It maps the future of ocean productivity.

Marine Productivity Index (MPI) — Fórmula (Technical Annex Level)

0) Objetivo del índice

Un índice 0–100 por celda-tiempo que estima potencial de producción marina explotable y/o biológicamente relevante, combinando:

• productividad primaria (bottom-up)
• condiciones físicas que concentran biomasa (fronts, upwelling, eddies)
• estabilidad/variabilidad útil (sin confundir “caos” con “productivo”)
• penalizaciones por estrés climático/ecológico (heatwaves, hipoxia, acidificación proxy)
• (opcional) evidencia pesquera (CPUE/landings) como “calibración” y no como driver principal

---

1) Variables base (por celda i, tiempo t)

Biología / luz

• $Chl_{i,t}$Chli,t​: Chlorophyll-a (mg/m³)
• $PAR_{i,t}$PARi,t​: Photosynthetically Active Radiation
• $Kd_{i,t}$Kdi,t​: atenuación/claridad (opcional)

Física / dinámica

• $SST_{i,t}$SSTi,t​: sea surface temperature
• $MLD_{i,t}$MLDi,t​: mixed layer depth
• $Upw_{i,t}$Upwi,t​: upwelling index (o Ekman transport)
• $Front_{i,t}$Fronti,t​: intensidad de frentes (p.ej. |\nabla SST| o |\nabla Chl|)
• $EKE_{i,t}$EKEi,t​: eddy kinetic energy (proxy de mezcla/convergencia)
• $SSHa_{i,t}$SSHai,t​: sea surface height anomaly (opcional)

Estrés / riesgo

• $MHW_{i,t}$MHWi,t​: Marine Heatwave severity (o #days)
• $O2_{i,t}$O2i,t​: oxígeno disuelto / proxy hipoxia (si disponible)
• $pH_{i,t}$pHi,t​ o $\Omega_{arag}$Ωarag​: acidificación / saturación aragonita (si disponible)

Calibración pesquera (opcional)

• $CPUE_{i,t}$CPUEi,t​ o landings normalizados (con cuidado de sesgos por effort)

---

2) Normalización robusta

Para cada variable $X$X, definimos una transformación robusta por región biogeográfica $R$R (para evitar mezclar Patagonia con Trópico como si fueran comparables):

1. Log-transform si la variable es log-normal (chl, EKE):

$$X’ = \log(1+X)$$X′=log(1+X)

2. Escalado robusto por percentiles (winsorized):

$$\tilde{X} = \mathrm{clip}(X’, P_5, P_{95})$$X~=clip(X′,P5​,P95​) $$Z_X = \frac{\tilde{X}-P_5}{P_{95}-P_5} \in [0,1]$$ZX​=P95​−P5​X~−P5​​∈[0,1]

3. Anomalía vs climatología para stress/temperatura:

$$A_{SST} = \frac{SST_{i,t} – \mu_{SST,i,\text{doy}}}{\sigma_{SST,i,\text{doy}}}$$ASST​=σSST,i,doy​SSTi,t​−μSST,i,doy​​

(doy = day-of-year; climatología multi-año)

---

3) Sub-índices (0–1)

(a) Primary Production Potential (PPP)
Una forma práctica (proxy) sin NPP directo:$$PPP_{i,t} = w_{chl}\,Z_{Chl} + w_{par}\,Z_{PAR} + w_{mld}\,f_{MLD}(Z_{MLD})$$PPPi,t​=wchl​ZChl​+wpar​ZPAR​+wmld​fMLD​(ZMLD​)

donde $f_{MLD}$fMLD​ favorece capas mezcladas “no extremas” (óptimo):$$f_{MLD}(Z) = 1 – |Z – Z^{*}|$$fMLD​(Z)=1−∣Z−Z∗∣

con $Z^{*}$Z∗ = valor óptimo regional (p.ej. 0.4–0.6).

(b) Aggregation & Concentration Dynamics (ACD)$$ACD_{i,t} = w_{upw}\,Z_{Upw} + w_{front}\,Z_{Front} + w_{eke}\,Z_{EKE}$$ACDi,t​=wupw​ZUpw​+wfront​ZFront​+weke​ZEKE​

(c) Persistence / Reliability (PER)
Para que un hotspot sea “operable” (no solo un pico):$$PER_{i,t} = 1 – \mathrm{CV}\left(MPI^{raw}_{i,t-k:t}\right)$$PERi,t​=1−CV(MPIi,t−k:traw​)

donde CV es coeficiente de variación en una ventana k (p.ej. 28 días), recortado a [0,1].

(d) Stress Penalty (STR)
Penaliza condiciones que reducen biomasa o accesibilidad:$$STR_{i,t} = w_{mhw}\,g(MHW) + w_{hyp}\,g(Hypoxia) + w_{acid}\,g(Acid)$$STRi,t​=wmhw​g(MHW)+whyp​g(Hypoxia)+wacid​g(Acid)

Con $g(\cdot)$g(⋅) una función sigmoide para que el castigo sea suave al inicio y fuerte al pasar umbrales:$$g(u)=\frac{1}{1+\exp(-a(u-b))}$$g(u)=1+exp(−a(u−b))1​

Ejemplo:

• $u=MHW\_severity$u=MHW_severity, $b$b=umbral regional, $a$a=pendiente.

---

4) MPI “raw” y MPI final (0–100)

MPI sin penalización (raw):$$MPI^{raw}_{i,t} = \alpha \, PPP_{i,t} + \beta \, ACD_{i,t} + \gamma \, PER_{i,t}$$MPIi,traw​=αPPPi,t​+βACDi,t​+γPERi,t​

con $\alpha+\beta+\gamma=1$α+β+γ=1

Aplicando penalización:$$MPI^{adj}_{i,t} = MPI^{raw}_{i,t}\cdot (1 – \lambda\,STR_{i,t})$$MPIi,tadj​=MPIi,traw​⋅(1−λSTRi,t​)

$\lambda \in [0,1]$λ∈[0,1]

Escalado final a 0–100:$$MPI_{i,t}=100\cdot \mathrm{clip}(MPI^{adj}_{i,t}, 0, 1)$$MPIi,t​=100⋅clip(MPIi,tadj​,0,1)

---

5) Pesca como calibración (opcional, recomendado “light”)

Para evitar que el índice solo refleje “donde ya pescan”, se usa CPUE/landings solo para calibrar pesos o validar.

Ajuste bayesiano suave:$$MPI^{cal}_{i,t} = (1-\rho)\,MPI_{i,t} + \rho \, Z_{CPUE}$$MPIi,tcal​=(1−ρ)MPIi,t​+ρZCPUE​

con $\rho$ρ pequeño (0.05–0.15), solo donde haya cobertura suficiente.

---

6) Pesos iniciales sugeridos (baseline)

• $PPP$PPP: 0.45
• $ACD$ACD: 0.35
• $PER$PER: 0.20
• $\lambda$λ: 0.6 (penalización moderada)
• Dentro de PPP: $w_{chl}=0.55, w_{par}=0.25, w_{mld}=0.20$wchl​=0.55,wpar​=0.25,wmld​=0.20
• Dentro de ACD: $w_{upw}=0.45, w_{front}=0.35, w_{eke}=0.20$wupw​=0.45,wfront​=0.35,weke​=0.20
• Stress: $w_{mhw}=0.50, w_{hyp}=0.30, w_{acid}=0.20$wmhw​=0.50,whyp​=0.30,wacid​=0.20

Estos pesos luego se refinan por región (Patagonia, Humboldt, Benguela, etc.).

---

7) Validación mínima obligatoria (anexo)

• Correlación temporal MPI vs CPUE (donde exista), con rezagos (lag) 0–4 semanas
• Backtesting estacional (rolling windows)
• Robustez por región (no colapsar por outliers satelitales)
• Sensibilidad a nubes / gaps (comparar composites)
• Auditoría: reproducibilidad por feature_set y model_version
