2 months ago Yes! See https://github.com/MathewBiddle/globe/blob/main/GIS4Ocean_h3_indicators.Rmd.
We have a better understanding of what we're doing now. Working with NMS, we are building a GIS layer (.geojson) of various indicators from an OBIS snapshot, using the obisindicators R package, to be added to an arcGIS story map. We will use this as an opportunity to highlight what our current capabilities are as well as some of the caveats with building such indicators.

2 months ago After some computational sleuthing 🕵️ I was able to figure out a way to make the higher resolution H3 gridding more performant. You can find the .Rmd and resultant .geojson files available at https://github.com/NOAA-GIS4Ocean/H3_indicators/tree/main
We will continue working with @mimidiorio to ensure we are generating the appropriate product.

2 months ago We can generate h3 grids from resolution 1 to 6 and produce .geojson files. Below is a screenshot of those files loaded in geojson.io to show the difference in resolutions:

2 months ago @laurabrenskelle we're at a point where we need to decide what is done for this effort.
We have:
So, are we "done" now? Or, are we "done" once the GIS the Ocean storymap has been released?

2 months ago I think we could focus on the write up at this point. I can pull content from various sources for the indicators, but it would be helpful to have super clear metadata and summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the process. Candid, honest, what this can and can't do and what the next steps might be to improve indicators moving forward....Thoughts?

2 months ago @mimidiorio I think I am ready to start working on this if you would like to tag-up and chat more about it and what format you're looking for this in? Also check out a conversation showing some work we've done with the bio/eco EOVs over here: https://github.com/ioos/ioos_code_lab/pull/220

1 month ago @laurabrenskelle, @mimidiorio and @MathewBiddle met yesterday to discuss a draft storymap. We highlighted one additional data visualization to work on in addition to providing the text which will accompany the graphics.
This issue will be closed once the story map is published.
Who is requesting this?
Marine Life community stakeholders broadly
What is being requested?
"One of the things we are being faced with in America the Beautiful is to conserve 30% of US waters. We want this conservation to be focused on the most biodiverse areas of the ocean. However, we do not have a product (ie nation-wide heat map) of where these areas are currently located. There are some data and attempts to do this using trawl surveys but those are focused on higher trophic levels - we are not aware of any product that does this across trophic-levels. We need a map with multiple data layers (phytoplankton diversity, zooplankton diversity, fish diversity, habitat) and perhaps a final layer that is full diversity across trophic levels. We could then overlay the marine protected areas to see if they match and if there are areas of high biodiversity that we are missing."
This sentiment has been repeated by multiple stakeholders at various meetings so we are capturing this request in this issue.
