Bathymetric Maps
Topographic maps of the sea floor. Through the use of detailed depth contours and full use of bathymetric data, the size, shape and distribution of underwater features are vividly portrayed. No other map or chart gives this descriptive picture of the ocean bottom terrain. The bathymetric map serves as the basic tool for performing scientific, engineering, marine geophysical and environmental studies, that are required in the development of energy and marine resources.
