Protecting our marine protect areas is a great topic for the SAS Hackathon - and one that affects us all, as global citizens.  I'd love to hear more about your forecasting methodology, as I didn't quite catch all the details from the video. Namely, (1) how did you run the forecast (i.e., which forecasting tool(s)) and (2) which variables were most predictive to forecast future events?

Thank you - and good job!
