The name of each sea/ocean is in the `NAME` property of its GeoJSON feature.

For the TopoJSON file:

```javascript
import map from "oceans-seas.geojson/topojson";
```

## Creating a custom GeoJSON/TopoJSON file

2. Unzip the file.
3. Adjust the scripts in `package.json` (e.g. filter other fields or change the simplification level).
4. Run the build script.
