Stock Status Plots (SSPs).
Description
Pauly et al. (2008) <http://legacy.seaaroundus.s3.amazonaws.com/doc/Researcher+Publications/dpauly/PDF/2008/Books%26Chapters/FisheriesInLargeMarineEcosystems.pdf> created (and coined the name) 'Stock Status Plots' for a UNEP compendium on Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs, Sherman and Hempel 2008 <https://agris.fao.org/agris-search/search.do?recordID=XF2015036057>). Stock status plots are bivariate graphs summarizing the status (e.g., developing, fully exploited, overexploited, etc.), through time, of the multispecies fisheries of a fished area or ecosystem. This package contains two functions to generate stock status plots viz., SSplots_pauly() (as per the criteria proposed by Pauly et al.,2008) and SSplots_kleisner() (as per the criteria proposed by Kleisner and Pauly (2011) <http://www.ecomarres.com/downloads/regional.pdf> and Kleisner et al. (2013) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-2979.2012.00469.x>).
