SETLyze

The purpose of SETLyze is to provide the people involved with the SETL project an easy and fast way of getting useful information from the data stored in the SETL database. The SETL database at GiMaRIS contains data about the settlement of species in Dutch waters. SETLyze helps provide more insight in a set of biological questions by performing a set of analyses on this data.
