Each stipe maps a depth layer, so teams can scan canopy, midwater, and floor data in one pass.

Amber bands mark field confidence, replacing decorative glow with traceable observation windows.
3
Brown algae stays documented
The palette keeps kelp olive, gold, and umber, avoiding false tropical greens in habitat views.
4
Calm density supports field decisions
Muted metadata and compact rows leave room for survey notes without flattening the ocean context.
