The Marine Operations Manager console shows reef turbidity and temperature, nearby boats and divers, and automatically assigned responses to threshold breaches.
Changes in water temperature, turbidity or site use can put a reef under pressure before damage becomes visible. The Marine Operations Manager view brings those readings together with boat and diver counts, helping the team monitor conditions at each site. Reef damage can be lasting, so a threshold breach raises an alarm and automatically assigns a response.
The wide view of the destination waters. The bottom strip is the marine summary: reef conditions, mooring, dive operation, and wind.
What you see
At the destination overview, the bottom strip summarises reef conditions, site capacity, and active responses across the waters. The map legend counts open items by severity and shows whether the environmental sensor feed is live.
| Group | Field | Example | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reef conditions | Water turbidity | 2.1 NTU, Stable | Reef water cloudiness, trended against threshold |
| Reef conditions | Reef temperature | 22 C, Stable | Sea temperature, trended against bleach-risk threshold |
| Capacity management | Boats near reef | 9 of 12 | Boats at the reef against capacity |
| Capacity management | Divers near reef | 26 of 40, across 5 sites | Divers down against capacity, spread over the open sites |
| Capacity management | Capacity-aware mooring allocation | bar | Moorings occupied against those available |
| Active response | Threshold alarms | All clear | Whether turbidity, temperature, and capacity sit within thresholds |
| Active response | Dynamic dive-site switching | Active route, Shebara Cluster to Shebara Wall (auto) | The dive-site switch currently running, updated automatically |
| Active response | Task triggered | Dispatch patrol boat, notify dive operator | The security and operations tasks a recommendation raises |
The map legend shows open items by severity: 0 critical, 1 high, 2 medium, and 8 low or info, using the live environmental sensor feed.
Reading reef conditions across the waters
Start with the destination waters, then select a marine zone such as the Shura Marina dive and mooring area. The strip updates to show local conditions and boat and diver counts against capacity.
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Why it matters | Reef damage can develop unnoticed and may have lasting effects. |
| What to check | Monitor reef turbidity, temperature, and nearby boats and divers for changes or crowding. |
| Before you start | The marine feed is live: reef conditions, mooring, dive operation, and wind are reporting. |
| What to do | 1. Sign in to the Marine Operations Manager view using your assigned account. 2. Read the marine strip: reef conditions, mooring, dive operation, and wind. 3. Select a marine zone to inspect dive and mooring capacity. 4. Watch turbidity and temperature against their thresholds, and counts against capacity. |
| Expected result | You can identify local changes in reef conditions and capacity as they occur. |
The Shura Marina marine zone. The strip shows local conditions: turbidity 2.1 NTU and reef temperature 22 C both stable, 9 of 12 boats near the reef, and 26 of 40 divers down across 5 sites.
The Shura Marina zone across the villa clusters, with unchanged reef readings: turbidity 2.1 NTU stable, boats 9 of 12, divers 26 of 40 across 5 sites.
The close-up: three things to act on
At site level, a recommended-action card can flag a local issue even when the destination summary reads All clear. Each card describes the condition, includes a live feed for checking the site, and offers a primary action or Remind me later. The examples below cover three alert types.
Resting a site before a temperature breach
One site can approach its bleaching-risk temperature threshold while readings elsewhere remain within limits. The card recommends resting the affected site and moving groups before that threshold is reached.
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tier | Temp rising (amber) |
| Why it matters | Groups may remain at a site while its temperature approaches the bleaching-risk threshold. |
| What to check | Rest the affected site and move groups while its temperature is still within the limit. |
| Before you start | Per-site reef temperature is reporting against a threshold, here 30.5 C at Site B. |
| What to do | 1. The card shows: water temp 29.8 C trending toward the 30.5 threshold at Site B. 2. Confirm the Dive Site B feed, camera DB-02, inside the card. 3. Rest Site B and shift afternoon groups to Site C, or defer with Remind me later. |
| Expected result | Site B is rested and afternoon groups are moved to Site C before the forecast threshold crossing. |
Close-up of North Reef. With conditions reading all clear, the amber card rests Site B and shifts afternoon groups to Site C, because water temperature is 29.8 C trending toward the 30.5 threshold and resting the site ahead of breach protects coral recovery.
Holding arrivals to keep a site within capacity
When a site is close to its boat or mooring limit, further arrivals could put it over capacity. Hold those arrivals and redirect them to another site.
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tier | Capacity watch (amber) |
| Why it matters | Further arrivals can push a busy site beyond its boat or mooring capacity. |
| What to check | Hold new arrivals and redirect them to keep the site within its limit. |
| Before you start | Per-site boat and mooring counts are reporting against capacity, here North Reef. |
| What to do | 1. The card shows: 11 of 12 boats and 17 of 18 moorings in use at North Reef. 2. Confirm the North Reef feed, camera NR-02, inside the card. 3. Hold new arrivals at North Reef and route them to Site B, or defer with Remind me later. |
| Expected result | New arrivals are redirected to Site B to keep North Reef within capacity. |
Close-up of Shura Marina. The amber card holds new arrivals at North Reef and routes them to Site B, because 11 of 12 boats and 17 of 18 moorings are in use and holding arrivals keeps North Reef within capacity.
Diverting on a threshold breach
When a threshold is breached, the card raises an alarm and automatically assigns a diversion task to marine security. Review the reading and live feed to confirm the situation.
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tier | Threshold breach (red) |
| Why it matters | Manual detection and coordination can delay the response to a threshold breach. |
| What to check | Raise the alarm and automatically assign the diversion task to marine security. |
| Before you start | Per-site turbidity is reporting against a threshold, here 5.0 NTU at North Reef, with marine security on call for auto-assignment. |
| What to do | 1. The card reports: turbidity 5.2 NTU over the 5.0 threshold with 11 boats at the reef. 2. Confirm the North Reef feed, camera NR-02, inside the card. 3. Divert and assign: the task to move dive groups from North Reef to Site C is auto-assigned to marine security, or defer with Remind me later. |
| Expected result | Marine security is assigned the task of diverting dive groups from North Reef to Site C. |
Close-up of North Reef. The red card diverts dive groups from North Reef to Site C, because turbidity has reached 5.2 NTU over the 5.0 threshold with 11 boats at the reef, and the task is auto-assigned to marine security.
Virtual tour (preview)
The underwater virtual tour lets you move between fixed reef viewpoints and open information cards for nearby assets. This feature is in preview; the images below show examples.
Select a water-quality buoy to open its live status card. The card uses the Water Quality Sensor Feed, which also supplies the reef-condition readings in the bottom strip.

A buoy selected in the tour. The status card reads WQ-Buoy-01 at North Reef, Shura, Site 24201, with turbidity 2.4 NTU clear, temperature 21.8 C, pH 8.04, dissolved O2 96.9% saturation, chlorophyll A 0.4 µg/l, blue and green algae 0.2 µg/l, total dissolved solids 39,400 mg/l, and visibility 18 m, on a 10-minute average from the Water Quality Sensor Feed.
Simulations this view runs
Marine Operations has six simulations. The platform groups Wave and Ocean current under Traffic; Flood and storm surge under Transport; and Wind, Water quality, and Coral reef under Environment. The simulation object is fixed to Vessels. Marine runs model environmental conditions and vessels, but do not model swimmers or divers as agents.
Use these simulations to assess whether marine activities can proceed and what restrictions or preparations may be needed.
| Category | Simulation | What it shows | Decisions it supports | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traffic | Wave | Wave height against the small-craft limit, and exposed vessels along their routes | Plan departure holds and beach calls around wave conditions | Wave |
| Traffic | Ocean current | Drift at the channel and along the dive routes, and the vessels in the drift zone | Adjust dive routing and vessel calls before boats are committed | Ocean current |
| Transport | Flood and storm surge | Surge height, speed, and arrival time at the berths | Plan when to secure or relocate craft and raise barriers | Flood and storm surge |
| Environment | Wind | The marine window, the small-craft limit, and mooring exposure | Set departure windows and secure moorings before conditions tighten | Wind |
| Environment | Water quality | Dive clarity, salinity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen at the dive sites | Review diving and swimming plans before guests enter the water | Water quality |
| Environment | Coral reef | Bleaching risk against the closure trigger, with anchor and boat pressure | Plan site rest or closure before the trigger is reached | Coral reef |
