MERMAID R Package

Although Excel or similar programs work for basic analyses, many scientists use programs like R (often in the RStudio environment) for larger datasets or more sophisticated analyses.

MERMAID has a helpful R package for accessing and importing your data.

The mermaidr package is specifically made for working with MERMAID data, which includes assessing your data, compiling datasets from multiple projects, and ingesting legacy data. To help you use the mermaidr package, we have prepared examples that can be accessed through the links below:

1. Accessing project data

2. Analysing MERMAID data using WCS Vibrant Oceans Baseline Coral Reef Monitoring

3. Ingesting legacy data into MERMAID using fishbelt data

For more information and detailed instructions on the mermaidr package usage, see the package website and the list of package functions.
