L.I.O.N.

LIVE INVASIVE-SPECIES OBSERVATION NETWORK

Undersea reef-health control room

Track reef health, invasive outbreaks, and indicator speciesfrom one living marine dashboard.

L.I.O.N. routes footage through multiple marine-detection lanes: a hosted lionfish watch, a hosted crown-of-thorns watch, and a marine-detect-style Reef Health Suite that can run through a remote Python service or a local fallback using your FishInv and MegaFauna models.

Program architecture

From raw reef footage to decision-ready overlays.

The flow now supports narrow invasive-species watches and a broader reef-health sweep. Hosted lanes stay deployment-friendly, while the paired Reef Health Suite opens a remote-service path for FishInv and MegaFauna without pretending those models belong inside a serverless bundle.

Image / video intake

On a boat, streaming live from a reef, or in the lab with pre-recorded footage. Drop it in.

Hosted Roboflow detector

A call is made to the hosted model lane so each target species can be surfaced quickly.

Hosted or service inference

Hosted lanes stay deployment-friendly, while the paired Reef Health Suite can run through a remote Python service or a local fallback.

Active preview feed

The web app overlays detections in-browser so analysts can review clips without waiting for a dashboard export.

Manifest + scoring hooks

Run manifests, JSON payloads, and follow-on reporting stay ready for downstream model-analytics pages.

Live lab

Choose the detector lane that matches the mission.

The Live Lab now works more like an operations surface. Pick a hosted invasive-species detector for deployment-safe uploads, or switch into the Reef Health Suite and run FishInv and MegaFauna through a remote marine-detect service when one is configured.

Upload dock

Choose a reef clip or still image and route it through the right detector stack.

Hosted invasive-species passes stay deployment-friendly, while the Reef Health Suite can call a remote marine-detect service or combine your FishInv and MegaFauna weights when you want broader ecosystem-health reads.

Current page state

Lionfish and Crown of Thorns use hosted Roboflow models that stay deployment-friendly for images and videos.
The Reef Health Suite can run through a remote marine-detect service when configured, or fall back to the local Python runner for FishInv and MegaFauna.
The browser renders returned detections over the selected media so the page stays app-like even when output files are not published.

Notification inbox

Recent detection logs

Completed runs land here with their detection summary, delivery target, and email send result so you can review notification history without leaving the Live Lab.

No detection logs yet.

Run the Live Lab once and completed detections will appear here with their email delivery status.

Detection gallery

Species intelligence wall for reef risk monitoring.

These slots now use actual prediction captures you supplied. Species without gallery media were removed from the visual wall and folded into the species coverage guide below so the site stays honest about what is shown.

Predicted sample

Crown of Thorns Starfish

Acanthaster cf. solaris

Hosted crown-of-thorns output ready for coral-risk review instead of a generic field-photo placeholder.

Outbreaks can strip live coral cover quickly, so this lane stays tuned for early intervention.

Hosted COTS laneCoral threatPred imageRapid response

Predicted sample

Parrotfish (Scaridae)

Scaridae

Rendered with the family label the model actually predicts so the gallery stays scientifically clear.

Grazers like parrotfish help suppress algal overgrowth and support coral resilience.

Fish + InvertebratesBio-indicatorScaridaeReef grazer

Predicted sample

Grouper (Serranidae)

Serranidae

A reef-suite predator class surfaced as Serranidae so the UI matches the model output users will actually see.

Groupers help contextualize predatory balance across the reef food web.

Fish + InvertebratesBio-indicatorSerranidaePredator balance

Predicted sample

Snapper (Lutjanidae)

Lutjanidae

This gallery slot now uses the detected family label instead of a looser common-name placeholder.

Snappers are a dependable Indo-Pacific indicator class for routine reef-health surveys.

Fish + InvertebratesBio-indicatorLutjanidaeSchooling reef fish

Predicted sample

Urchin

Echinoidea

Real prediction imagery replaces the old filler so this card now reflects the actual invertebrate lane.

Urchin density can hint at grazing pressure, algal shifts, and broader benthic imbalance.

Sea Cucumber

Holothuroidea

A seabed-health indicator card anchored to an actual predicted example from the current suite.

Sea cucumbers recycle nutrients and surface sediment-health signals that matter for reef chemistry.

Lobster

Palinuridae

The crustacean lane now shows a real model output rather than a placeholder thumbnail.

Lobster sightings add useful context around habitat complexity and shelter quality.

Sea Turtle

Cheloniidae

A real megafauna prediction frame now stands in for the old repeated demo asset.

Sea turtle sightings help connect reef monitoring with larger ecosystem-health signals.

MegaFauna + Rare SpeciesMegaFaunaProtected speciesBlue-carbon support

Shark

Selachimorpha

This apex-predator card now uses the provided prediction image instead of a repeated hero loop.

Shark detections help frame top-down predator stability and protection success.

Lionfish

Pterois volitans / miles

This slot now uses a separate still from the lionfish prediction video so the gallery does not repeat the hero monitor.

Lionfish stays in the wall as the dedicated invasive-species watch for early removal and spread prevention.

Hosted lionfish laneInvasive alertPred imageRapid removal

Reef observation map

Sparse watch-zone points across the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific.

This map now uses a sparse, hand-curated set of realistic reef observations instead of a dense random CSV. It is meant to show likely watch zones for species L.I.O.N. can surface today, not fake global saturation.
