This narrow estuary is the drainage for the Barnegat Bay watershed and flushed by just three inlets connecting it to the Atlantic Ocean, is experiencing degraded water quality, algal blooms, loss of seagrass, and increases in oxygen-depletion events. The scale of the estuary and the scope of the problems within it required a regional approach to understand and model water circulation within the bay and adjacent ocean. A continuous elevation surface (terrain model) integrating all available elevation data in the area was produced for the water circulation modeling efforts. Purpose: The purpose of this polygon shapefile is to delineate the general boundaries and spatial extent of the edited, input data used to create the terrain model (bbtg10m.tif) Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 1934 Ending_Date: 2013 Currentness_Reference: ground condition Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -74.438388 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -74.000766 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 40.142630 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 39.442756 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: USGS Metadata Identifier Theme_Keyword: USGS:5edf9d3c82ce7e579c7087d1 Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: none Theme_Keyword: U.S. Geological Survey Theme_Keyword: USGS Theme_Keyword: National Ocean Service Theme_Keyword: NOS Theme_Keyword: Terrain Model Theme_Keyword: circulation modeling Theme_Keyword: National Elevation Dataset Theme_Keyword: NED Theme_Keyword: EAARL-B Theme_Keyword: Swath bathymetry Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: oceans Theme_Keyword: inlandWaters Theme_Keyword: boundaries Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: USGS Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: geospatial datasets Theme_Keyword: study areas Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) Place_Keyword: United States of America Place_Keyword: State of New Jersey Place_Keyword: Barnegat Bay Place_Keyword: Point Pleasant Place_Keyword: Manasquan Place_Keyword: Manasquan Inlet Place_Keyword: Metedeconk River Place_Keyword: Mantoloking Place_Keyword: Seaside Heights Place_Keyword: Toms River Place_Keyword: Barnegat Inlet Place_Keyword: Forked River Place_Keyword: Long Beach Place_Keyword: Manahawkin Bay Place_Keyword: Tuckerton Place_Keyword: Beach Haven Place_Keyword: Little Egg Harbor Place_Keyword: Little Egg Inlet Place_Keyword: Great Bay Temporal: Temporal_Keyword_Thesaurus: none Temporal_Keyword: 1934 Temporal_Keyword: 1935 Temporal_Keyword: 1936 Temporal_Keyword: 1954 Temporal_Keyword: 1962 Temporal_Keyword: 2003 Temporal_Keyword: 2005 Temporal_Keyword: 2006 Temporal_Keyword: 2011 Temporal_Keyword: 2012 Temporal_Keyword: 2013 Access_Constraints: none Use_Constraints: none Point_of_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Brian Andrews Contact_Organization: U.S. Geological Survey Contact_Position: Geographer Contact_Address: Address_Type: mailing and physical address Address: 384 Woods Hole Rd.

Native_Data_Set_Environment: Microsoft Windows Vista Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.1.4095 Data_Quality_Information: Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon boundaries were created using the spatial extent of the input files used to create the terrain model. The boundaries for the source "NED" and "USGS EAARL" attributes were created by converting the raster data directly to a polygon. The boundaries of the remaining datasets were created by digitizing a boundary polygon around the extent of each of the datasets such that adjacent polygons do not overlap. Completeness_Report: The individual polygons only delineate the extent of bathymetric data used to compile the bathymetric terrain model and may not include all the data collected during the individual survey. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: This polygon shapefile was generated by a combination of digitizing around survey data, and converting rasters to polygons. Each feature in the shapefile encompasses the complete extent of each input dataset.
