Explore how ocean systems connect

Trace how species, places, threats, and opportunities connect across the Blue Biome system. Start with one question, then follow the relationships that shape marine ecosystems.

What happens next when one part of the ocean system changes?

Guided Story Path

Start Small Choose one species, place, threat, or opportunity.

Trace One Link Open one relationship and ask what it means.

Explain Change Open the next node and describe what changed in the system.

Teach With This Graph

Use one question to open the system

The Knowledge Graph works best when you start small. Choose one species, place, threat, or opportunity, then follow a few connections rather than trying to read the whole network at once.

Best for classroom use Use it to compare causes, consequences, and cross-system relationships that are harder to see on a single species or place page.
What students should do Open one node, inspect the next suggested connection, and explain what changed between the two.
What this graph is not for It is not meant to be read all at once. Treat it as a guided pathway tool, not a full diagram you must decode immediately.

Graph Contents Open for node counts and the graph legend.

0 Nodes

0 Edges

0 Species

0 Ecoregions

These counts show the current scope of the graph, but the main goal is to help you trace one meaningful ecological story at a time.

Choose A Starting Point

Start with one species, place, pressure, or direct search. Then use the graph to trace one meaningful change at a time.

Start With A Species

Find one organism and see what it connects to across the wider ocean system.

Start With A Place

Begin from one ecoregion and trace what lives there, what shapes it, and what it influences.

Start With A Pressure Or Solution

Use one threat or opportunity card to understand how change spreads through the network.

Search Directly Type a species, place, threat, or opportunity if you already know where you want to begin.

Continue Exploring

After your first selection, use guided journeys, view presets, and filters to keep tracing the system.

Try A Guided Journey Start from a curated question instead of configuring the graph manually.

Refine Current View Open exploration

Use these view presets after your first selection if you want to focus the graph on one kind of ecological story.

Advanced Filters Choose which node, relation, evidence, loop, and principle layers stay visible.

List View & Accessibility Prefer buttons over the canvas? Step through visible nodes and edges as a readable list.

Use the buttons below, or the arrow keys while the graph is focused, to move through visible nodes. Use Page Up and Page Down to step through visible edges without relying only on the canvas.
