    Description:

      Abstract:

        Shaded relief images at several scales and resolutions in TIFF format 
have
        been generated from elevation grids
        (http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of01-179) of the Monterey Bay
        National Marine Sanctuary.

        This is one of a collection of digital files of a geographic
        information system of spatially referenced data related to
        the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program "Monterey Bay
        National Marine Sanctuary Project"
        <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/mbms>.  The data were collected
        and analyzed between 1994 and 2000.

      Purpose:

        These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy
        makers, and the general public.  The data can be
        used with geographic information systems (GIS) software
        to display geologic and oceanographic information
        about the shallower areas of the Monterey Bay
        National Marine Sanctuary.
