Most important goals are to define critical environmental conditions that limit the coastal reproduction habitats of fish, map the species-specific reproduction habitats, develop and publish cost-efficient tools and approaches for inventory and modeling purposes.
The end products are maps of larval observations and modelled species distribution maps of the fish reproduction habitats describing marine biodiversity. The map layers are freely available at the VELMU map service http://paikkatieto.ymparisto.fi/velmu/ and at Luke open data service https://opendata.luke.fi/dataset/larval-observations-and-modelled-larval-production-areas-of-coastal-fish-species. Results have been presented also in scientific articles, reports, presentations, media and in a nonfiction book "Meren aarteet".
