Areas of interest

The dataset is a polygon shape file which represents the area used for extracting the high resolution bathymetry model from echo sounder data (FK-UNITY-534). The shape of the sites was derived by creating a buffer of 400 metres from the echo sounder data retained at each site. In total there are 21 areas.
