Decision-makers lack integrated, high-resolution models of ocean chemistry, biology, currents, and human activity. The open problem is building trustworthy systems that support decisions without creating false confidence from incomplete data.

The research opportunity is to define measurable success criteria, test the approach in realistic settings, identify failure modes, and create a pathway from prototype to accountable deployment.
