Add a basemap selector

[JorinHakai]

Users may not like the default basemap, and may wish to use a different one. A basemap selector (toggle if two, dropdown if multiple) would be an excellent addition to the map to enable users to select a preferred basemap.

Also noting here that the point/hex layer color schemes may need to adapt (subtly hopefully) to the basemap selection, or we could design a robust and 'base-map-proof' color scheme. I'd prefer the latter

Current:

Additional (lets get a bunch in here)

• https://stamen-tiles-d.a.ssl.fastly.net/terrain/{z}/{x}/{y}.png (from https://catalogue.cioos.ca/dataset/ basic map interface)

bathymetry would be the most beneficial Here's a potential I found quickly https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1e126e7520f9466c9ca28b8f28b5e500

This base map is pretty sweet (though there seem to be some weird effects in the Strait of Georgia https://tiles.emodnet-bathymetry.eu/ (see demo here https://tiles.emodnet-bathymetry.eu/preview.html)

That is a really cool basemap. I got it working with this link: https://tiles.emodnet-bathymetry.eu/2020/baselayer/web_mercator/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
