bathymetry

[andybeet]

Should we include bathymetry data?
If not, it might be good to point people to a resource for bathymetries since that is pretty common when creating ocean maps

@andybeet Were you thinking of specific contour lines? Or were you thinking of an actual gridded bathymetry dataset? The former sounds like a good idea. Not sure about housing a gridded data product tho.

[andybeet]

Was thinking of contour lines only

I just had an inquiry about gridded bathymetry for the NEFSC bottom trawl area. If there is a desire not to host this info, is there an alternative source that you know of?

[andybeet]

I think we decided not to host this since there are several other orgs hosting this kind of data.
Several sources here
I'm sure there are more

Thanks Andy. For anyone else looking here, another source of gridded bathymetry data is GEBCO https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data/. (Link from Kevin Friedland via Janelle Morano)

Andy, did you also decide not to do a few useful contour lines here? I would be willing to give these a try to learn the process for adding features.

@EJosephson I think that would be a great idea. Personally, i think a few commonly used contour lines would be a great contribution to this project.
