Description:
Abstract:
This is a shapefile for Kaho'olawe Restricted Area generated by buffering the boundary of Kaho'olawe Island (obtained from NOAA's GSHHS shapefile) by 2nautical miles.
Purpose:
To generate an up to date polygon for Kaho'olawe Restricted Area

Process_Description:
A new shapefile was created for addition to MPA Global (see www.mpaglobal.org) as the existing polygon available in the WDPA (see <http://sea.unep-wcmc.org/wdbpa>) did not extend to 2nm from the island's shore (this is the legal boundary - see <http://www.state.hi.us/kirc/rules/rules.htm>). NOAA polyline of the world 'gshhs' version 1.3 available from <http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/gshhs.html> was used as the island outline - Kahoolawe island selected out, reprojected as Albers Equal Area (Hawaii), then buffered by 2nmi. Donut hole filled. Area calculated - matches that listed on official Reserve webpage - <http://www.state.hi.us/kirc/ocean/ormphome.html>. Process for developing gshhs polyline is available in "Wessel, P., and W. H. F. Smith, A Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Shoreline Database, J. Geophys. Res., 101, #B4, pp. 8741-8743, 1996." No metadata is available for GSHHS version 1.3. Version 1.2 was generated in 2004 (apparently).
