For the purposes of responding to an oil spill emergency (a LOSCO concern) it identifies the MSO office to be contacted for assistance that is dependent on the area of Louisiana in which the spill occurs. This data set is appropriate to identify MSO zones pertinent to Louisiana. It is not appropriate to identify the MSO zones pertinent to other states. This is a polygon dataset delineating the boundaries of the three U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office (MSO) zones that encompass the state of Louisiana. The MSO zones are: New Orleans, Morgan City, and Port Arthur. These metadata describe the Arc/Info coverage of name 'zongeog3dbmso' and the shapefile of the same name derived from it. The metadata for this data set are encapsulated into several documents and graphics files. The metadata are not complete if you did not receive the following files along with the data set: >zongeog3dbmso.mtd - this metadata in mp (metadata parser) compatible ASCII text form >zongeog3dbmso.html - this metadata in HTML form >zongeog3dbmso_faq.html - this metadata presented as Questions and Answers >zongeog3dbmso.sgml - this metadata in SGML form >zongeog3dbmso1.gif - thumbnail graphic of data set >zongeog3dbmso2.gif - larger view of the data set illustrating the source of the bounding arcs The attribute and/or geometric component(s) of the data are provided as Arc export (.e00) file(s) and the corresponding three part (.shp, .shx, .dbf) shapefile(s) or standalone .dbf file(s) in the case an export file is a standalone INFO file. You should have received the following as part of the dataset: >zongeog3dbmso.e00 >zongeog3dbmso.shp >zongeog3dbmso.shx >zongeog3dbmso.dbf >zongeog3dbmso.prj - coordinate system specification file for shape End_Group Group: Related_URL URL_Type: URL: Group: Description Originator: U.S. Geological Survey Publication_Date: 199911 Title: County Boundaries of the United States Online_Linkage: End_Group End_Group Group: Related_URL URL_Type: URL: Group: Description Originator: U.S. Geological Survey Publication_Date: 199911 Title: Hydrography Features of the United States Online_Linkage: End_Group End_Group Group: DIF_Author Last_name: Phillips First_name: Hugh Email: Phone: (352) 379-3001 Group: Address 3655 SW 2nd Ave., Suite 3C Gainesville, FL 32607 End_Group End_Group DIF_Revision_Date: 20000205 Science_Review_Date:
