Today at Global Fishing Watch, on Slack, we are discussing the best map projections for showing off the ocean (this is partially us procrastinating). Our default is an equal earth projection. But some argue we should use the Spilhaus projection instead, which is how "fish see the world."
Comments
We looked around, and found the elastic-2 projection https://github.com/jkunimune/elastik, which can give a similar view as Spilhaus, but doesn't distort the coastlines quite as much (except Australia).
Also, when I say "we made the maps," I mean that @tim.hochberg.io made/found the maps and we commented on them.
