The Northeast Fisheries Science Center Marine Development GIS Data Hub created by the Marine Development and Ecology Branch (MDEB) host many spatial datasets. The NEFSCspatial package provides access to these datasets and serves them up as sf objects.

A current list of all data sets included in the package:

title	dataset_name
Gulf of Maine Bottom Longline Survey	gombll_substrata
Gulf of Maine Bottom Longline Survey	gombll_strata
Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Survey	mmst_strata
Ecosystem Monitoring Survey	ecomon_stations
Ecosystem Monitoring Survey	ecomon_strata
Passive Acoustic Monitoring Survey	pam_deployments
Atlantic Surfclam and Ocean Quahog Survey	sc_strata
Atlantic Surfclam and Ocean Quahog Survey	oq_strata
eDNA Survey	edna_stations
eDNA Survey	edna_strata
Coastal Shark Bottom Longline Survey	csbll_stations
Coastal Shark Bottom Longline Survey	csbll_strata
Northern Shrimp Survey	shrimp_strata
Turtle Ecology Survey	turtle_strata
Bottom Trawl Survey	bts_strata
Hook and Line Survey	hl_strata
Cooperative Atlantic States Shark Pupping and Nursery Survey	coastspan_strata
Seal Aerial Survey	seal_stations
North Atlantic Right Whale Aerial Survey	narw_lines
North Atlantic Right Whale Aerial Survey	narw_strata
Sea Scallop Survey	scallop_strata
Sea Scallop Survey	scallop_strata_historic

We can then plot any attribute, for example the “SUBSTRATA” attribute of the gombll_substrata dataset:

gombll_substrata |> 
  ggplot2::ggplot() + 
  ggplot2::geom_sf(ggplot2::aes(fill = SUBSTRATA))
