The Caribbean Island Nation data set is a shapefile polygon modeling the coastlines of the countries in the region. Shapefile format provides compatibility with georeferenced raster imagery used in a Geographic Information System (GIS). In addition, this data set provides a relational perspective view (s) in a GIS of the survey area surrounding the Puerto Rico trench.
To supplement main featured mosaic image, the Puerto Rico trench survey area, in a GIS.
