LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: A logical consistency report was not conducted for these data.
COMPLETENESS REPORT: Data are complete to the specifications of the MA Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF). HORIZONTAL POSITIONAL ACCURACY REPORT: A polygon coverage was created from several different sources. State boundaries from Maine to Connecticut at 1:25,000 were combined to form a 'New England' land coverage for basic reference and coastline. Existing territorial lines were combined as well as bathymetric and latitude-longitude lines to complete the polygons.
