Habitat Suitability Modelling of Marine Mammals
Maps of habitat suitability and use for these marine mammal species can show how ecosystems respond to environmental change and the effectiveness of conservation actions.

- IP18 - Porpoise SDM - The code reads the harbour porpoise tracking data (based on ARGOS tags), cleans the Argos data, and performs a MaxEnt analyses to generate habitat suitability layers for one season and period (out of 6). Raster data is based on Copernicus data, which is freely available but also provided in the raster folder. To generate habitat suitability layers for all season and periods described in the article, adjust the code to the season and period of interest and rerun the procedure. See the code here.
High-Resolution Predictive Maps of Processes Underlying Fish Reproduction
The model integrates different types of fisheries and survey data and returns estimates of how different processes underlying animal’s reproduction cycle are affected by environmental conditions at a local scale, as well as predictive maps of animal and underlying reproduction processes distribution along the area of interest. The model applies to the Baltic whitefish.

Detecting and Quantifying Macroplastic on Beaches using Drones and AI
This IP describes how drones equipped with advanced sensors can be used to detect macroplastics on beaches. Artificial Intelligence is used to quantify the amount of litter, for instance before and after a beach clean-up event. The SeaBee drone infrastructure has done proof-of-concept studies on this, which still remains to be included in monitoring.
