This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.00001. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.00001. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is D_WGS_1984.
The ellipsoid used is WGS_1984.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257224.
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Coordinates defining the features.

These data were navigated with Differential Global Positioning Systems (DGPS) and a P-code receiver. These systems have an estimated horizontal accurace of to +/- 3 meters horizontally.
These data have been corrected for vessel motion (roll, pitch, heave, yaw) and referenced to local sea level. The theoretical vertical resolution of the Sea Beam 2112 multibeam echosounder is 1 % of water depth, approximately 40 - 80 meters within the study area.
All collected data were processed and used to produce this dataset.
No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
