Series_Information: Series_Name: Open-File Report Issue_Identification: 03-002 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Woods Hole, MA Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2003/of03-002/ Description: Abstract: This shapefile shows the 10 meter contour interval based on the 5-meter multibeam bathymetry (Dartnell and Gardner, 1999) from the Flower Garden Banks region. Purpose: The information was created and intended for a preliminary geologic interpretation of the seafloor and in order to determine sites for future sample collection. The interpretations presented in this Open File Report are subject to change with future data acquisition.
