Three layers, one loop
The commons is not a website with a repo behind it. It is a repo with a website in front of it — and an intelligence system feeding it.
Blue Life Commons
Trust layer — this site
Source-linked, review-gated, CC BY intelligence artifacts: species pages, region briefings, missions, dataset cards, and welfare assessments. Review state remains visible.

Open MCP layer
The public marine-mcp repository serves the reviewed corpus to agents with sources and review state attached. The broader operational runtime is not represented here as public source.

Ledger & governance
The single source of truth. Contributions arrive as PRs, review happens in the open, CI validates every artifact against the schema, and merged changes publish here automatically.
The repositoryFrom signal to sustained impact
- 1A sensor, researcher or citizen produces a signal
- 2The intelligence system (or a human) drafts an artifact
- 3Required reviewers inspect sources, welfare, rights, and schema
- 4CI validates; approved merges become publication candidates
- 5This site renders it; Guardian keeps it living
- 6Approved outcomes can enter the public impact ledger
