ICES sub-areas (area codes from 2018)

Definition ICES SubAreas as they have been defined from 2018 inclusive.

Usage

data(ICESsubArea)

Format

SpatialPolygonsDataFrame with area names identified in the column 'StratumName'. See StratumPolygon.

Details

Polygons are derived from shapefiles provided by ICES web-portals, and has been edited with some simplifications. Notably detailed coast-lines have been removed, in favor of drawing area borders on land-mass.

Polygons are defined in WGS84 coordinates (unprojected).

Examples

 # plot ICES areas
 data(ICESsubArea)
 plotArea(areaDef=ICESsubArea)
