HELCOM Biodiversity Assessment Tool (BEAT) is used for integrated assessments of biodiversity in the Baltic Sea. The tool, BEAT 3.01, was initially developed in the BalticBOOST project and used in the State of the Baltic Sea - Second HELCOM Holistic Assessment 2011-2016. Here, BEAT is updated for use in the Third HELCOM Holistic Assessment of the Baltic Sea (HOLAS 3), with contributions from the HELCOM BLUES and the Baltic Data Flows projects. The updated version of BEAT as used in HOLAS 3 is found in BEAT_HOLAS3.R and relevant updated input files.
