seascapeR

The seascapeR package provides functions for fetching, analyzing and visualizing Seascapes — a global and regional dynamic seawater classification product derived from satellite imagery by Maria Kavanaugh (OSU).
This package is meant to help nodes in the MBON network extract Seascape data, such as across NOAA Sanctuaries, for comparison with biological or other observations.
