The Spatial Data Repository (SDR) will be discontinued on September 7, 2026. Going forward, SDR records will be available in NYU's UltraViolet repository or on partner GeoBlacklight systems. Previously available permanent links bookmarked for assets here will also redirect you to the current location of a record.

This polygon shapefile depicts oceans split into contiguous pieces. These data are derived from the 10m ocean coastline data. Ocean polygon is the same as Bathymetry 0 (sea level). This theme (and its inverse cousin, Land) are used to clip the raster imagery. These data are represented at 1:50,000,000 scale. This layer is part of the Natural Earth Collection (v.2.0.0). Natural Earth is a public domain map dataset available at 1:10, 1:50 and 1:110 million scales. Featuring tightly integrated vector and raster data, with Natural Earth you can make a variety of visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS software. Kelso, N.V. and Patterson, T.
