# Diatom aMRV Platform

> Diatom aMRV is a digital platform for planning, executing, and verifying marine ecosystem restoration monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV). It supports the entire lifecycle — from initial site assessment to biodiversity credit issuance.

Diatom aMRV is built for marine ecologists, project managers, and verification bodies working on kelp, seagrass, coral reef, and mangrove habitat restoration. The platform integrates field surveys, remote sensing, eDNA, hydrophones, sensors, and AI copilots into a single, auditable data pipeline.

## Key Capabilities

- **Site Assessment**: Ecological criteria scoring, oceanographic profiling, ecosystem services valuation, risk registers, WDPA protected-area import, and stratification zones.
- **Monitoring Design**: Indicator selection, sampling methods, QA rules, cadence, baseline/reference logic, and strategy approval workflows.
- **Site Hierarchy**: Portfolio → Project → Site → Habitat Unit → Monitoring Unit. Assign approved monitoring designs at any level.
- **Habitat Data Capture**: Real-time feeds (buoys, satellites, sensors), survey uploads (CSV, Excel, PDF, shapefiles), eDNA, ROV/AUV, hydrophones, and camera traps.
- **Monitoring KPIs**: Habitat health (kelp cover, seagrass density, coral bleaching), oceanography (SST, salinity, wave exposure), and biodiversity trends.
- **Baseline & Timeseries Analytics**: Single source of truth for change over time. Supports pre-intervention, historical, reference-site, control-site, and rolling baselines. Seasonal normalisation, confidence scoring, provenance, and derived indicators.
