The comprehensive data collection web page enables users to input the data values that were measured in the field (i.e., in the ocean). While the tool is very user-friendly and easy to use, it also features embodiments which comprise response validation techniques. The response validation software is such that it only permits parameter values in the North-Western Pacific Ocean. Therefore, it is best when used in Alaska.
The data visualization feature in this webpage embodies graphs and charts to help the kelp farmers interpret the trends of the data for a 12-month period visually. It also comprises two fields including site name and farmer email. In this way, the farmer will not be able to look at other farmers’ data. However, the farmer will need to enter their exact site name and email that they entered in the data collection web page else, graphs will not appear.
The comprehensive decision-making software enables farmers to make a final decision regarding the site’s reliability for planting kelp. It comprises fields similar to the comprehensive data visualization software. Instead of graphs, the decision-making software comprises tables which aggregate all the measurements that were entered. The mechanism also embodies weights which denote importance to each parameter. We have already set default weights, but the farmers can also change them using their own judgment. In this way, the sheet will show a final percentage that will help the kelp farmers decide whether the location is best suitable for kelp. The percentage indeed shows the reliability of the site in terms of various factors such as Nitrogen levels, sunlight, etc. that are most needed for successful kelp cultivation.
