MARITIME STRATEGIC LAND USE DATA BASE (SLUD) LEVEL-I LAT/LONG DIGITAL DATA UPDATED CLI LAND USE (circa 1987) SLUD Level I latitude/longitude digital data are intended for GIS users who wish to integrate SLUD thematic data with their own topological base maps, i.e. for GIS users who wish to "cookie-cut" the SLUD thematic layers with their own topological shoreline layer. SLUD Level I thematic data is intentionally extended past the shoreline and as such does not contain the proper definition of shoreline. The data are not projected and coordinates, areas and perimeters are in decimal degrees. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DERIVE AREA STATISTICS FROM THESE DATA UNTIL THEY ARE INTEGRATED WITH A PROPER SHORELINE AND THE RESULTS PROJECTED TO A SUITABLE MAP PROJECTION. If the above restrictions do not meet your GIS objectives, obtain the equivalent Level II UTM data with integrated base map from the same distribution source.
