## Contents

- `spatial_data.RData` contains all the environmental information.

    - Chl:      A `SpatialGridDataFrame` object with Chlorophyll-a values

    - Depth:      A `SpatialGridDataFrame` object with Bathymetry values

    - coast:  A `SpatialPolygonsDataFrame` object with the coastline

    All the `Spatial*` classes are defined in the package `sp`.

- `MediterraneusT.csv` is the original dataset from IEO after some minimal cleanup.
It contains the year, coordinates (EPSG 23030) and presence indication.
