Ecological forecasts are becoming important for conservation, but few systems offer near-real-time predictions that account for ecological complexities.
A new forecasting system for coral disease predicts risks of white syndromes and growth anomalies using ecological and environmental data, producing weekly forecasts with improved accuracy compared to previous systems.
The tool supports decision-making through an online platform that allows users to explore predictions and intervention scenarios in real-time, effectively addressing the challenges of ecological forecasting.
