Getting documented spatial definitions of fishing areas etc.

[andrew-edwards]

Joe got the Coastline.rda file from another package to get going. For documentation we should get something traceable, either the PBSmapping .rda file or also look in:

https://github.com/pbs-software/pbs-data

Rowan had said: The package you want is called 'PBSdata', which contains a variety of shapefiles. ... I have additional shapefiles in a local (non-public) package called 'PBSvault': 'Provides data objects that are either large, seldom used, proprietary, or defunct.'

However, most of what you need is likely in PBSdata.

• [ ] Also, maybe first, see ?PBSmapping::nepacLL and related objects, though maybe it's all in ggplot anyway (kind of) for shoreline.

From ?PBSdata, and checking the help for the relevant data objects, looks like we should get the following. I think they use PolyData and similar ideas that are from PBSmapping, so we may want to convert them to something that's now more standard. Or just or re-extract from original sources if necessary. Can adapt the existing help files, and also properly cite PBSdata as the source. The objects are:

• [ ] 'bctopo' Topo: British Columbia sea floor topography
• [ ] 'bowie' Topo: Bowie Seamount Marine Protected Area
• [ ] 'eez.bc' Topo: Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for BC coast
• [ ] 'gwaiihaanas' Topo: Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve simple boundary
• [ ] 'hsisob' Topo: Hecate Strait isobaths - not sure if we'd need this plus other topography
• [ ] 'hssa' Topo: Hecate Strait synoptic survey area - prob not needed
• [ ] 'isobath' Topo: Isobaths (100 to 1800m, at 100m intervals)
• [ ] 'locality' Topo: Localities in Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission minor areas
• [ ] 'major' Topo: Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission major areas
• [ ] 'minor' Topo: Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission minor areas
• [ ] 'npafc' Topo: North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission areas
• [ ] 'pmfc' Topo: Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission areas
• [ ] 'popa' Topo: Pacific Ocean Perch (POP) proposed assessment areas (think these are the ones now used, as per more recent assessments)
• [ ] 'rca' Topo: Rockfish conservation areas - may need updating (check with Dana Haggarty)
• [ ] 'seamounts' Topo: Seamounts fff the BC coast
• [ ] 'spongeAMZ' Topo: Sponge reef zones - adaptive management zone
• [ ] 'spongeCPZ' Topo: Sponge reef zones - core protection zone
• [ ] 'srfa' Topo: Slope rockfish assessment areas
• [ ] 'srfs' Topo: Slope rockfish assessment subareas
• [ ] 'tidemarks' Topo: Tide Marks closed area
• [ ] 'trawlability' Topo: Fisher knowledge of towable bottom
• [ ] 'trawlfoot' Topo: BC trawl footprint

Could include some of these.
