cr_outline: Costa Rica Full Outline (Continental + Islands)

Description

An sf multipolygon containing the full outline of Costa Rica, derived from GADM 4.1. Includes the continental landmass, the Isla del Coco (~550 km offshore in the Pacific Ocean), and all other minor oceanic islands.

For the continental outline only (without islands), see cr_outline_c.

Usage

cr_outline

Format

An sf object with 1 feature and 1 column:

geometry

MULTIPOLYGON in WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) representing the full national territory of Costa Rica including all islands.

Details

## When to use this vs cr_outline_c Use cr_outline when your analysis requires the full national territory (e.g., legal/administrative boundaries, marine protected areas, or studies specifically involving the Isla del Coco). Use cr_outline_c for mainland ecological analyses where oceanic islands would distort results (species distribution models, landscape metrics, climate extraction).

## Reproducibility Generated with data-raw/cr_outline.R. To regenerate:

if (FALSE) {
# Compare continental vs full
par(mfrow = c(1, 2))
plot(sf::st_geometry(cr_outline_c), main = "Continental")
plot(sf::st_geometry(cr_outline),   main = "Full territory")
