This coverage is one in a series of 18 quadrangles in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region. The project is designed to provide detailed maps of the Stellwagen Bank region's environments and habitats and the first complete multibeam bathymetric and sea floor characterization maps of a significant region of the shallow EEZ.",
