+
+## **Introduction**
+
+LandSea.jl is a Julia package that aims to streamline the following process(es):
+* downloading and analysis of various Land-Sea masks for different datasets for different packages
+
+LandSea in and of itself does not download the Land-Sea mask datasets. What it does is provide a unified `struct` type that can be used across different packages and dataset types.
+
+LandSea.jl can be installed via
+```
+] add LandSea
+```
+
+## **Usage**
+
+Please refer to the [documentation](https://georegionsecosystem.github.io/LandSea.jl/dev/) for instructions and examples.
