Description:
The World Vector Shoreline (WVS) dataset was developed by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (formerly the U.S. Defense Mapping Agency - DMA) as a digital data file, at a nominal scale of 1:250,000 and referenced to the World Geodetic System (WGS-84) datum. The WVS is divided into ten ocean basin area files. This data layer is a subset of the Western North Atlantic region and provides a shapefile of countries bordering the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, and the islands of the Caribbean Sea region.
