 #### Pull data
+The actual raw, interim and processed data are not tracked by the repository as part of good git practices. A copy of the raw data is stored on the WRL Coastal J:\ drive and can be copied using the following command.
+```
+make pull-data
+```
+If you have updated the data and want to copy it back to the J:\ drive, use the following command. Note that it is probably not a good idea to modify data stored in `./data/raw`.
+```
+make push-data

 #### View notebooks
-
+Jupyter notebooks have been set up to help explore the data. Once you have set up your environment and pulled the data, this is probably a good place to start as you. To run the notebook, use the following command and navigate to the `./notebooks` folder.
+```
+jupyter notebook

 ## Available data
 Raw, interim and processed data used in this analysis is kept in the `/data/` folder. Data is not tracked in the repository due to size constraints, but stored locally. A mirror is kept of the coastal folder J drive which you can
