# Green Tide / Enteromorpha
Green tide is a floating-algae target. It can be confused with land vegetation,
aquaculture structures, cloud edges, turbid water, sunglint, and black/no-data
regions if the model is trained as a simple foreground/background classifier.
## Required Context
- Validity handling: black borders and no-data pixels must not be interpreted as green tide.
- Context handling: land and water context should be learned or provided as labels/hard negatives.
- Do not assume a coastline vector or external land mask exists.
## Recommended Output
- Per-pixel probability map for green tide.
- Binary candidate mask after validity/context filtering.
- Optional polygon extraction for product delivery.
## Failure Modes
- Land vegetation is often spectrally similar to algae.
- Black borders can be falsely predicted when labels do not include invalid regions.
- Single-element binary models overpredict on unknown ecological elements.
