SI2022 poster

On this website, you can find a ggOceanMaps poster presented at the Sharks International Conference 2022 in Valencia, Spain. This site also contains references in the poster and code used to make the figures and download the example datasets. Make sure to visit the front page to learn how to install ggOceanMaps, the user manual showing how to use the package and the function reference to see practical examples.

Data

Script to download data used in the poster:

# GBIF data

library(tidyverse)
library(ggOceanMaps)
library(rgbif)

## Donwload example from: https://docs.ropensci.org/rgbif

species <- c(BlueShark = "Prionace glauca", BaskingShark = "Cetorhinus maximus")

GBIF <- lapply(seq_along(species), function(i) {
  
  message(species[i], "...")
  
  key <- rgbif::name_backbone(name = species[[i]])[c("canonicalName", "speciesKey")]
  
  rgbif::occ_search(
    taxonKey = key$speciesKey, 
    return = "data", 
    limit = 4e5, 
    geometry = c(-20, 30, 20, 76))
})

GBIF_blue <- GBIF[[1]]$data %>% 
  rename("lat" = "decimalLatitude", "lon" = "decimalLongitude") %>% 
  dplyr::select(lon, lat) %>% 
  transform_coord(bind = TRUE) %>% 
  dist2land()

GBIF_basking <- GBIF[[2]]$data %>% 
  rename("lat" = "decimalLatitude", "lon" = "decimalLongitude") %>% 
  dplyr::select(lon, lat) %>% 
  transform_coord(bind = TRUE) %>% 
  dist2land()

# Dugnad for havet data

DugnadForHavet <- read_delim(
  "data/DFH_basking_shark.csv", # from: https://dugnadforhavet.no/dataportal
  delim = ";") %>% 
  arrange(amount) %>% 
  filter(!is.na(longitude), !is.na(latitude)) %>% 
  transform_coord(bind = TRUE) %>% 
  dist2land() %>% 
  as_tibble()

Note that the correct way to do the download would be something like shown under and on the website, but I did not have a user name when making the poster, and there were <7000 records of these shark species in the Northeast Atlantic. Hence the 100k limit was not an issue. Citing correct data sources, however, is an issue and if you are planning to use the data in more serious applications than posters, make sure to find the correct DOI using occ_download() or the web portal.

keys <- species %>% 
  name_backbone_checklist() %>% # match to backbone 
  filter(!matchType == "NONE") %>% # get matched names
  pull(usageKey)

occ_download(
  pred_in("taxonKey",key$speciesKey),
  pred("hasCoordinate", TRUE),
  pred("hasGeospatialIssue", FALSE),
  pred_within("POLYGON ((-20 30, 20 30, 20 80, -20 80, -20 30))")
)
