# etn

[![CRAN status](https://www.r-pkg.org/badges/version/etn)](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=etn)
[![repo status](https://www.repostatus.org/badges/latest/active.svg)](https://www.repostatus.org/#active)

Etn provides functionality to access data from the [European Tracking Network (ETN)](http://www.lifewatch.be/etn/) database hosted by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) as part of the Flemish contribution to LifeWatch. ETN data is subject to the [ETN data policy](http://www.lifewatch.be/etn/assets/docs/ETN-DataPolicy.pdf) and can be:

- restricted: under moratorium and only accessible to logged-in data owners/collaborators
- unrestricted: publicly accessible without login and routinely published to international biodiversity facilities

The ETN infrastructure currently requires the package to be run within the [LifeWatch.be RStudio server](http://rstudio.lifewatch.be/), which is password protected. A login can be requested at http://www.lifewatch.be/etn/contact.

## Installation

You can install the development version of etn from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:
