Linking shellfish population and harvestable amounts to determine an ROI on satellite data

High-Level Project Summary

As harmful algal blooms grow has been prevalent, they are having impact on harvestable amounts of shellfish and on industry.By digging in the data, assessing and comparing the shellfish population in the Gulf of Mexico to harvestable amounts, we may be able to determine ROI on the use of satellite data.

Measuring the Value of Earth Observations

Information from Earth-observing satellites is used to make decisions that benefit society and the environment, but it can be challenging to document how this information leads to improved outcomes and to measure these improvements. Your challenge is to describe how Earth observations inform a specific decision that improves outcomes for society and propose a strategy for measuring these benefits.
