vmsbase: GUI Tools to Process, Analyze and Plot Fisheries Data

Description Details References

Description

Within vmsbase you can process, analyze, combine, integrate and plot: the georeferenced dataset from the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS), the Automatic Information System (AIS) or other tracking devices, as well as the catches or landings dataset from the Logbook or Vessel Register, which constitute the primary sources of information for spatially explicit models of the fishing effort. vmsbase is conceived to solve many of the nuisance details related to this specific kind of data, providing a straightforward path from data massaging and management to sophisticated analyses and outputs.

Details

The only function you're likely to need from vmsbase is gui_main. All the other functionalities are available from the main Graphical User Interface but can also be invocated with the corresponding functions.
