- Abstract:
-
These are polygon locations of Mid-Atlantic artificial reefs. They were compiled from various sources, primarily lat/long coordinates of reef corners found on public web sites.
- Purpose: Created for marine spatial planning purposes.

- Process_Description:
-
The Nature Conservancy copied lat/long coordinates of artificial reef corners from several public web sites (New York, New Jersey, Virginia). Reef boundaries were recieved digitally from Delaware and compiled from several sources for Maryland. These various data sources were then merged into a single shapefile
