 Description:
      Abstract: Navigation track lines representing the line of data for bathymetry and backscatter data.

 Purpose:
        These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy
        makers, and the general public.  The data can be
        used with geographic information systems (GIS) software
        to display geologic and oceanographic information.

 Supplemental_Information:
        Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes
        only and does not imply endorsement by the
        U.S. Government.

        Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata
        file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form,
        as well as in ArcInfo format, this metadata file may include some
        ArcInfo-specific terminology.
