| GSHHS is a high-resolution shoreline data set amalgamated from two |
| databases in the public domain. The data have undergone extensive |
| processing and are free of internal inconsistencies such as erratic |
| points and crossing segments. The shorelines are constructed |
| entirely from hierarchically arranged closed polygons. The data can |
| be used to simplify data searches and data selections, or to study |
| the statistical characteristics of shorelines and land-masses. |
