12 tools

• look_here

  List every Biohotspot map layer with data within `km` of a point on the sea (a place being studied, not the user's location): habitats, wildlife, human uses, protected areas and world ocean maps, with a few values from each. Read-only. Use it to learn what a place holds.

• look_in_area

  List every Biohotspot map layer with data inside a polygon on the sea, with a few values from each. Read-only.

• understand_area

  Check an area against its protection targets: which habitats it holds, how much of each, what is already protected, and how far each habitat is from its target. Give a polygon, or a point and radius_km. Outside Biohotspot's local planning data the answer comes from world maps…

• simulate

  Run the Marxan optimiser on the example project's planning data (Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia only): the cheapest set of planning squares that meets every habitat target. `protect` = planning-square ids always included (understand_area returns them as `pus`); `target_pct` =…

• find_layers

  Find Biohotspot map layers by words (e.g. 'seagrass', 'coral bleaching') among its 1,600+ world layers. Returns ids, names, categories and licences (25 by default); vector layers can then be read with get_features. Read-only.

• get_features

  Get a vector layer's features as GeoJSON from Biohotspot's OGC API, optionally inside a bounding box [west, south, east, north]; up to `limit` features (500 by default, 5,000 at most). Collection ids: find_layers ids, or exmouth_<dataset> for the example project's open layers…

• get_marine_park

  Get the facts about an Australian marine park from its Biohotspot page: area, IUCN categories and named zones (CAPAD 2024), habitats, blue carbon and pressures measured inside it, each with its source and licence, and the page's address. Give part of the park's name; `state`…

• search_papers

  Search Biohotspot's research library (more than 5,200 papers and reports on coasts and marine habitats) for the words; returns titles, years and DOI links where known (10 by default, 50 at most). Read-only.

• list_projects

  List your Biohotspot projects and the ones shared with you: name, area, your role and how complete their data is. Read-only.

• get_project

  Get one of your projects: its area (GeoJSON), its data check (each data type covered, partial or missing) and your role. Read-only.

• list_project_data

  List the data a project's team added, with each file's status (receiving, checked, ready, failed). Read-only.

• add_project_data

  Add data to a project from a public download link (GeoPackage, zipped Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, CSV with coordinates or GeoTIFF, up to 200 MB): your own model's output, a survey, a map. Side effect: the file is downloaded, stored and added to the project, where its team can see…
