This data file is the culmination of work dating back to 2004/2005. Parts of the Alaska baseline and maritime limits were reviewed and approved at the following U.S. Baseline Committee meetings: 20051122, 20051215, 20060119, 20060207, 20060228, 20060629, 20060831, 20061103, 20070112, and 20070411.

Description:
Abstract:
NOAA's Office of Coast Survey (OCS) is responsible for generating the Three Nautical Mile Line, Territorial Sea, Contiguous Zone, and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Traditionally, these maritime limits have been generated by hand from the low water line depicted on paper, U.S. nautical charts. Upon final approval by the U.S. Baseline Committee, these official maritime limits are applied to the next edition of nautical charts produced by the Marine Chart Division of OCS.
Due to new cartographic production processes and the availability of digital products such as Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs), OCS has developed improved techniques for generating more accurate, digital maritime limits. Through the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software such as CARIS' LOTS and ESRI's ArcGIS, the latest vector representations of these limits will be available to NOAA cartographers and the public.
To create digital limits, the charted low water line is captured digitally and used as input to CARIS' LOTS: Limits and Boundaries software for the designation of a baseline. Once the limits are created, they are exported to a shapefile file using CARIS' Import SHP utility. These polyline shapefiles are contained within a zipped file.
Purpose:
This dataset is to be used as the source for the depiction of maritime limits on NOAA's paper nautical chart and electronic navigational chart. The maritime limits were constructed from baseline points that represent the most seaward, drying features at mean lower low water on NOAA's largest scale, latest edition, paper nautical charts of the area. These digital boundaries do NOT represent the official depiction of the maritime limits.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
In CARIS LOTS, six working mapping files were used for the project area of Alaska. Within each map, the projection was set to Mercator with a 0.001 meter X/Y resolution. The scaling latitude used for each CARIS map was determined by finding the midpoint between the northeast and southwest bounding coordinates of the six divisions of the project area. The baseline points were derived from the largest scale charts. As NOAA's raster nautical charts were brought into the CARIS environment, the CARIS map was reprojected on the fly to match the chart's projection, and heads-up digitizing in the CARIS environment was performed. The attributes established in LOTS were SourceDoc and Limit. The SourceDoc values reflect the nautical chart or hydrographic survey number upon which the baseline points were taken and are assumed to be accurate. The six working mapping files were combined so that the limits could be displayed in one map for the entire state of Alaska. The projection of this larger map was set to Mercator with a 0.005 meter X/Y resolution. No added tests were conducted.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The data, which reflects the largest scale nautical charts or hydrographic surveys of the area, are believed to be logically consistent.
Completeness_Report:
The maritime limits are complete for Alaska. The limits may be updated at a later date if the charted depiction of the farthest seaward low-water mark changes. These limits were created for internal purposes only to improve the accuracy of the charted maritime limits. These limits do not represent the official depiction of these maritime limits. For the official depiction of the limits, please see NOAA's paper or raster nautical charts.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
No specific test was performed on the dataset. The data is a reflection of the largest scale raster nautical charts of the area. In some cases, hydrographic surveys were referenced to determine if charted features such as rocks awash were drying at mean lower low water. The number of decimal places used in the output format does not imply an accuracy level higher than the source chart documents.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The maritime limits are projected from a designated baseline. Points representing the baseline are referenced from the farthest seaward low-water mark as depicted on the largest scale, raster nautical charts. No specific test was used to determine the vertical accuracy of the points.

The maritime limits are created from normal baseline points. Points representing the baseline are referenced from the farthest seaward low-water mark as depicted on the largest scale, paper nautical charts. NOAA's raster nautical charts were used as backdrops in the CARIS maps. As these charts were brought into the CARIS environment, the CARIS maps were reprojected on the fly to match the chart's projection. The latest edition charts were used as referenced in the citation information section above. The dates of these latest editions were current as of 2007.

Due to the large number of rocks that were researched off the coast of Alaska, each hydrographic survey is not individually broken down and described according to title, scale, year, etc. Instead, the hydrographic surveys that were referenced during the rock research are listed chronologically.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The latest edition, largest scale charts were used to create a continuous vector low water line from which baseline points would be chosen from. The hydrographic surveys and descriptive reports were used as secondary source materials from which charted asterisk rock symbols (rocks awash) were verified to dry at mean lower low water. In the LOTS environment, the "Envelope of Arcs from Normal Points" tool was applied to the cleaned low water line and any additional rock features. As input to the "Envelope of Arcs" tool, OCS selected the limit distance in nautical miles and designated the attributes for the baseline points. This tool generated the contributing baseline points and the maritime limit using a wagon-wheel filtering process of rolling a circle with a diameter specified by the limit distance and choosing the seaward-most points along the low water line.
