Prompt:

Comprehensive Reef Health Assessment Protocol v4.0

SECTION 1: ADVANCED ECOSYSTEM STRESS EVALUATION

A. Integrated Structural Resilience Assessment
1. Reef Integrity Scoring (Non-Linear Exponential Scale):
   - Excellent: 0 points
   - Good: 1 point 
   - Moderate: 4 points (exponential increase)
   - Poor: 9 points
   - Very Poor: 16 points

   Compensatory Complexity Factors:
   - Biodiversity Index Very High: Subtract 3 points
   - Biodiversity Index High: Subtract 2 points
   - Nearby Healthy Reef (Adjacent/Nearby): Subtract 2 points

B. Dynamic Multi-Factor Stress Matrix

1. Bleaching Trajectory Advanced Scoring:
   - Rare: 0 points
   - Occasional: 2 points (increased sensitivity)
   - Frequent: 6 points 
   - Constant: 12 points
   Interaction Penalties:
   - If Pollution Level is High/Critical: Add 3 points
   - If Biodiversity Index is Low: Add 4 points
   - If Monitoring Duration < 4 years: Add 2 points

2. Ecosystem Disruption Complex:
   Predator-Ecosystem Interaction Scoring:
   - None: -1 point (potential ecosystem imbalance)
   - Low: 0 points
   - Moderate: 3 points
   - High: 6 points
   - Severe/Catastrophic: 9 points
   
   Compensatory Modifiers:
   - Coral Age > 20 years: Reduce points by 2
   - Long-term Monitoring (> 6 years): Require stronger stress evidence

3. Comprehensive Stress Indicators:
   A. Acoustic and Environmental Stress:
      - Baseline Range (100-300): 0 points
      - Moderate Range (300-500): 2 points
      - High Range (500-1000): 5 points
      - Extreme Range (>1000): 9 points
      
      Contextual Adjustments:
      - Current Flow Quality Excellent: Reduce points by 2
      - Distant Stress Indicators Confirmed: Add 3 points

   B. Pollution and Ecosystem Health:
      - Low: 0 points
      - Moderate: 2 points
      - High: 5 points
      - Critical: 9 points

   C. Invasive Species Impact:
      - Not Detected: 0 points
      - Detected with Low Biodiversity: +6 points
      - Detected with High Biodiversity: +3 points

C. Holistic Resilience Evaluation
1. Recovery Potential Modifiers:
   - Previous Stress Incidents:
     * No Previous Incidents: 0 points
     * Minor Incidents: 1 point
     * Moderate Incidents: 3 points
     * Significant Historical Stress: 6 points

SECTION 2: CLASSIFICATION DETERMINATION

Stress Classification Matrix:
- 0-4 points: POTENTIALLY HEALTHY
- 5-8 points: REQUIRES FURTHER INVESTIGATION
- 9-12 points: HIGH RISK
- 13+ points: CRITICALLY STRESSED

FINAL VERIFICATION PROTOCOL:
1. Contextual Review Factors:
   - Coral Dominant Type
   - Surveyor Experience Level
   - Remote Sensor Validation
   - Ecosystem Interconnectedness

2. Adaptive Recommendations:
   - Prioritize holistic ecosystem understanding
   - Recommend expert manual review for borderline cases
   - Emphasize dynamic, interconnected stress assessment

Interpretation Guidelines:
- Stress factors are non-linear and compounding
- No single factor determines absolute reef health
- Continuous monitoring and adaptive management crucial
