What is FLR?
The FLR library is a collection of tools in the R statistical language that facilitates the construction of bio-economic simulation models of fisheries and ecological sytems. It is a generic toolbox, but is specifically suited for the construction of simulation models for the evaluation of fisheries management strategies. The FLR library is under development by researchers accross a number of laboratories and universities in various countries.

People developing FLR
Initial development of FLR was part of the EU-funded FEMS (Framework for the Evaluation of Management Strategies, QLRT-2001-01824) research project. A number of EU-funded and national research projects have contributed to FLR in various ways. FLR is now an open collaborative effort, where researchers working on it do so as part of different research and management initiatives. A team of fisheries and computer scientists take responsibility for the maintenance and improvement of the standard set of packages.
