fisharea

The fisharea package classify which fishery administration areas a set of coordinates lies within.

The user can choose from a series of fishery administration areas. See ?fisharea::fisharea for complete list.

The package doesn't do anything miraculous. It's just combines the shape files for the fishery areas, with the logic for determining if a point is inside a rectangle.
