Abstract
The ggOceanMaps package for R allows plotting data on bathymetric maps using ggplot2. The package is designed for ocean sciences and greatly simplifies bathymetric map plotting anywhere around the globe. ggOceanMaps uses openly available geographic data. Citing the particular data sources is advised by the CC-BY licenses whenever maps from the package are published (see the Citations and data sources section).
The ggOceanMaps package has been developed by the Institute of Marine Research. Note that the package comes with absolutely no warranty and that maps generated by the package are meant for plotting scientific data only. The maps are coarse generalizations of third party data and therefore inaccurate. Any bug reports and code fixes are warmly welcomed. See Contributions for further details.
