World, Marine, Ocean
This layer contains marine polygons around the world. This polygon file is intended for small scale thematic mapping and analysis.
The spatial data were obtained from Natural Earth. The surface marine features are from a 1953 series of hydrologic maps from the International Hydrologic Bureau. Marine labels should include more designated large marine ecosystems. Attributes were modified to include scalerank, type, name, alternate name, and note. The coordinate system of this data is WGS 1984.
"Marine Regions is a standard list of marine georeferenced place names and areas. It integrates and serves geographic information from the VLIMAR Gazetteer and the MARBOUND database and proposes a standard of marine georeferenced locations, boundaries and regions. 25,371 marine georeferenced places, 32,484 marine place names, 5,595 polygons of geographic places, 12 marine geographic regional/global classifications, Maritime Boundaries (EEZ) of the world" - Natural Earth
