3 What the toolkit does not offer

The toolkit has much room for growth and we wholeheartedly welcome contributions from the broader community working toward marine megafauna conservation.

Nevertheless, the toolkit cannot cover every aspect possible that could contribute toward marine megafauna conservation. Although we would love to highlight available resources through the toolkit.

Considering what the toolkit aims to achieve, and broader knowledge a user might need to achieve key outputs, the toolkit does not cover the following in detail:

• How to install R and RStudio, and the fundamentals of R.

• Detailed instructions about how to generate animal abundance estimates.

• Comprehensive background to analysing animal tracking data.

• Analysing at-sea survey data or developing species distribution models.

We welcome guidance we can recommend on some of these points or links to key tutorials or training courses.
