CATREA
Amendments to be proposed to TSMAD to be made to existing S-57 attribute CATREA
FEATURE OBJECT ATTRIBUTE
31 : coral sanctuary (((new attribute)))
Definitions:
coral sanctuary:
a place where coral is protected
Remarks: This is an enumeration to CATREA attribute....it IS NOW in the IHO Registry with a value of 31 (29 Aug 2016)
No remarks.
Distinction:
Justification:
In response to a proposal from The World Bank and USA-NOAA paper CHRIS 19-08.1b, CHRIS19 directed TSMAD to develop a Marine Environmental Protection Programme. The task has now been passed to SNPWG. Exchange of environmental information using S-57 (and by logical extension S-100) and the protection of coral ecosystems were a key drivers. The addition of this enumerated value fills a gap and provides greater precision than is possible using other enumerated values.
