Shapefile format provides compatibility with georeferenced raster imagery used in a Geographic Information System (GIS). In addition, this data set provides a relational perspective view (s) in a GIS of the survey area surrounding the Puerto Rico trench. Purpose: To supplement the main featured mosaic image of the Puerto Rico trench survey area in a GIS.
