Creates survey designs for distance sampling surveys. These designs can be assessed for various effort and coverage statistics. Once the user is satisfied with the design characteristics they can generate a set of transects to use in their distance sampling survey. Many of the designs implemented in this R package were first made available in our 'Distance' for Windows software and are detailed in Chapter 7 of Advanced Distance Sampling, Buckland et. al. (2008, ISBN-13: 978-0199225873). Find out more about estimating animal/plant abundance with distance sampling at <http://distancesampling.org/>.
