Purpose: Selected by the Long Island Sound Study to serve as a general bathymetric data layer in its GIS data base. Best for sound-wide applications or general information. These data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information for the Long Island Sound. The data are to be used for illustrations and illustrative maps on scientific topics. They are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. There is NO ASSURANCE of their accuracy, completeness, or precision. The contour line data were manually digitized from a published map.

This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). The source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard. One online linkage in the Identification section was wrong and was deleted. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
