#12According to saltwater fish... What about all of the freshwater fish? Cool map though!
Not to mention that no fish would have any insight into at least whatever is within visible distance from the shore surface. An accurate version of such a map would highlight an interesting perspective of how humans also lack the ability to perceive, comprehend, or even accept things they either physically or psychologically cannot perceive or do not wish to perceive and accept it.
More importantly, I imagine a 2D map would not be useful for fish: there is much more space to represent when you can also swim up and down.

the fish need more data:
- depths https://www.horizont.net/news/media/8/Die-Schaup-des-jeweil-...
- and temperature https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/...

#16Is there or could there be an equivalent centered on the north geographic pole?
I'm aware of Polar Stereographic Projections and similar but they don't unify the oceans the way the Spilhaus does.

#17This article has a well-researched history and many versions of the map:

#19A friend of mine created something similar using a numerical optimization based approach to minimize distortion. He also made the artistic choice to split the water between Australia and Asia to get even lower distortion. See Elastic II here:

#20Nice reminder, that every eel in austria came from the caribic by looking at a path in this map.
