+# Final project proposal
+
+
+Please prepare a short proposal on your final project idea by **Nov 15**. The proposal should include:
+
+- Title & description of the project
+- Your name & partner's name
+- A precise description of the data required, and how it will be obtained (e.g. please link directly to an actual data source you can read into Python)
+- 3 questions / analysis tasks you will perform on the data; in the spirit of the assignments we have been doing.
+
+*You may choose to work with your partner or independently on the final project. Please indicate which clearly in your proposal.*
+
+Your proposal may continue to work with any of the existing datasets we have already encountered in climate, fish or spatial modules, or propose an entirely new dataset.  
+
+Please create your proposal in a markdown file called `proposal.md` in the root directory of the final project repo.
