PMAR is a software package for the modelling of anthropogenic pressures caused by human activities at sea.

Pressures are substances which act as tracers and cause negative impacts when released in the marine environment. This may include marine litter, oil or other hazardous substances, chemicals, organic matter, etc.

Human activities such as maritime transport, fishing, oil & gas extraction, aquaculture, and more, can cause the release of such substances, thus becoming pressure sources.

PMAR is open source and is programmed in Python. Particle trajectories are modelled using OpenDrift.

To install PMAR, you can use either conda or pip. Make sure you have Conda or pip installed on your system.

conda create -n pmar-env python=3.9
conda activate pmar-env
conda install -c conda-forge opendrift rioxarray
pip install git+https://github.com/CNR-ISMAR/pmar.git

pip install opendrift rioxarray
pip install git+https://github.com/CNR-ISMAR/pmar.git
