for M.G.L. c. 21, secs. 5 and secs. 1-104: Marine Fisheries. Attributes were

the statutory and regulatory references for this law, but also the name and

         <gmd:purpose>
            <gco:CharacterString>The ability to visualize regulations, laws, or management structures
can help policy makers understand use conflicts, point out inconsistencies in
national or state policy, and educate the public about ocean issues. In
addition, georegulations allow the user to view the spatial extent of these
laws, along with natural resources that many of these laws seek to protect.

      ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: The attributes reflect the legal information
      provided by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management and are assumed
      to be accurate. 
      
      LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: Data are believed to be logically consistent,
      although not tested. Geometry appears to be topologically clean. 
      
      COMPLETENESS REPORT: This a statewide data layer and is believed to depict the
      locations of all designated barrier beaches within the Commonwealth of
      Massachusetts. 
      
      HORIZONTAL POSITIONAL ACCURACY REPORT: The accuracy of these data is based on
      source data that are assumed to meet National Map Accuracy Standards. 
      
      PROCESS DESCRIPTION: The Marine Fisheries data layer was created using the MA
      coastal zone as a template. The MA coastal zone data layer was used to depict
      the landward boundary for this law, as well as the ateral boundaries with New
      Hampshire and Rhode Island. However, the MMS state seward boundary was appended
      to the existing coastal zone boundary. Attributes were added to reflect the
      information relevant to this law.
