When applying diffuse inference systems through the GeoFIS tool in a database of the coral complex of the island of San Andrés, a CO2 flux index was estimated that allows us to know the effect of the flux on the sea and the influence of the variables involved. It was found that six of the studied areas had a state of acidification of the sea due to CO2, while all the other areas had a slight incorporation of the gas. Likewise, it was evident that the variables that have a significant influence on the incorporation of CO2 into the marine environment are the sea surface temperature and the chemical nature of this gas, according to the component analysis. Therefore, the diffuse methods for the determination of acidification of coral ecosystems, allows establishing an approach to the effects that the gradual incorporation of CO2 would have into the marine environment, in addition to providing excellent advantages in terms of its determination based on satellite information.
