Coastal resource managers at CCNS and elsewhere are concerned about nutrients that are entering coastal waters via submarine groundwater discharge, which are contributing to eutrophication and harmful algal blooms. The research carried out as part of the study described here was designed, in part, to help refine assumptions required by earlier versions of models about the nature of submarine groundwater flow and discharge at CCNS. This study was conducted in four phases, with a variety of field techniques and equipment employed in each phase. Phase 1 consisted of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) surveys of the entire study area conducted in 2004. Phase 2 consisted of CRP ground-truthing via resistivity probe measurements and submarine groundwater sampling from hydraulically-drive piezometers using a barge in the Salt Pond/Nauset Marsh area in 2005. Phase 3 consisted of supplemental detailed CRP surveys in the Salt Pond/Nauset Marsh area in 2006. Finally, Phase 4 consisted of sediment coring and porewater extraction in the Salt Pond/Nauset Marsh area later in 2006 to supplement the 2005 sampling. Purpose: This data layer provides the approximate location of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Supplemental_Information: Most of the coverages the Cape Cod Commission provided to MassGIS were digitized from paper maps using a Calcomp 9100 digitizer and ESRI's Arc/Info. Source material varies by layer. Some original manuscripts were obtained from the 1990 APCC Atlas; others came from town sources. Other layers were produced with on-screen digitizing in ArcEdit. Attribute information for parcel and zoning coverages came from town planning and engineering departments' and assessors' databases. MassGIS performed quality checking on all layers and standardized all attribute tables before creating the libraries.

At least some of the attributes appear to be carried over from the ArcInfo processing. Since the projection of the dataset from MassGIS was Massachusetts State Plane (NAD83), Mainland Zone (Fipszone 2001), it is assumed that the Area and Perimeter values are in meters.
