 *pipedat* is a R package that provides analytical pipelines to access, load, and format a variety of data from multiple sources programatically. The goal of *pipedat* is to enhance the capacity scientists, planners and the wider public to prepare and perform complex and reproducible ecosystem-scale assessments requiring the integration of multiple spatial datasets such as cumulative effects assessments in the context of ecosystem-based management, and Marxan analyses for the establishment of individual and networks of MPAs. In its current format, *pipedat* is strictly experimental and in development. We are however hoping to further develop this initiative in the hopes of greatly enhancing the efficiency, transparency and reproducibility of large-scale environmental assessments. 
 
+WARNING: This version of the package is deprecated and kept for reproducibility purposes for the [`nceadfo`](https://github.com/Ecosystem-Assessments/nceadfo) project, which heavily relies in the `pipedat` package. The `pipedat` package was begun in the wake of the `nceadfo` project; with `nceadfo` complete, I regrouped and thought of ways to make `pipedat` better and simpler to use. 
+
+Since `pipedat` is actively developed and structured as part of other ongoing projects, it is likely that other partial versions like this will be created and kept as individual branches unless the projects themselves are updated to work with the latest version of the `pipedat` package.
