Coral Tracker
A data dashboard for marine biologists to track coral bleaching using citizen science reports
Project Overview
Coral Tracker is an innovative project that empowers marine biologists and citizen scientists to monitor coral reef health through a centralized digital platform. By combining citizen science reports with scientific data analysis, we're creating a comprehensive coral reef monitoring system.
Key Features
- Interactive coral reef maps with real-time data
- AI-powered coral health analysis
- Citizen science reporting portal
- Detailed historical data comparisons
- Automated bleaching alerts system
Technology Stack
- React for the interactive web interface
- Python/Flask for backend data processing
- PostgreSQL for data storage
- Leaflet.js for map visualization
- TensorFlow.js for ML-based analysis
