Our data, your analysis.
Restoration only scales if outsiders can check it. Every dataset below is released openly after verification, formatted for the tools researchers already use.
Catalogue
Five datasets, updated on a fixed cadence.
Verified canopy maps
Satellite-derived kelp canopy extent for every monitored site, with per-pixel confidence, ground-truthing records and the imagery dates behind each map.
GeoTIFF + GeoJSON
Seasonal, per reef
Diver survey archives
Quadrat surveys, urchin densities, fish transects and drop-camera annotations — anonymised where surveying with ranger partners, raw everywhere else.
CSV + Darwin Core
Per survey window
eDNA metabarcoding tables
Amplicon sequencing results from restored, reference and barren sites — species-by-sample tables with full lab protocol metadata.
TSV + MIxS metadata
Annual
Holdfast line provenance ledger
Every line’s life story: gametophyte source reef, hatchery batch, vessel, laying coordinates and subsequent survival checks.
CSV
Per seeding season
Blue-carbon verification packs
The complete pack behind every credit issued: biomass export tracing, sediment core results, discount rates and verification statements.
PDF + CSV annexes
Per credit issuance
The rules
Open, with two hard exceptions it’s worth naming.
Open by default
Data releases within six months of verification, under a CC BY 4.0-style licence, unless a community or cultural safeguard applies.
Community-held data stays community-held
Where ranger groups or communities hold cultural knowledge in a dataset, they publish it themselves, on their own terms — or not at all.
Mistakes are findings
Corrections are versioned publicly and never silently replaced. A dataset with an honest changelog is worth more than a clean one.
Tidewright is a fictional company created as a design and content demonstration. The datasets described here are illustrative; the catalogue demonstrates the structure such a program would expose.
