## Abstract

A Multivariate Predictive Modeling System that determines the impact of numerous environmental, life-cycle, and policy-based variables on oyster populations in real time by instantiating Oyster Group Demographic Objects and Reef Objects which function as virtual processing components. The Multivariate Predictive Modeling System creates novel interactive digital replicas of oyster population and reef entities which may be updated in real time to model environmental impacts on oyster population growth.
