Abstract Excerpt:
Dynamic ocean management seeks to use near real-time information to allow for spatially and/or temporally flexible management measures (Maxwell et al. 2015; Hazen et al. 2018; Welch et al. 2019). Recent advances in satellite technology have facilitated such pursuits by making fully automated and quality-controlled datasets both available and readily implemented into a suite of programming environments. Thus, models that are dependent upon environmental information can be updated with as little as several hours of lag-time, allowing managers or enforcement officials to respond in near real-time.
