Relevant marine boundaries are a critical component of any survey activity, environmental assessment or map interpretation. They guide historical reviews of disposal activity, define jurisdictional areas, and provide consistent reference points to compare data sets. Several compilations of boundaries and reference points exist in paper form (Tordoff, 1991a-d) as well as in GIS format (see Baumann and others, 1998). Note that boundaries, reference points, and landmarks associated with waste disposal in Massachusetts Bay are in Library 2 (Waste Site Features).
