This package provides facilities to handle the public domain datasets of the 5 tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations. It was used to generate the datasets of the FIRMS Global Tuna Atlas.

This package is no longer maintained, but its scripts and functions were reused in the up-to-date Geoflow-tuna repository

The package is archived in Zenodo and Software Heritage

The data generated by these scripts are open and available here :
