CATREA

Amendments to be proposed to TSMAD to be made to existing S-57 attribute CATREA

FEATURE OBJECT ATTRIBUTE

29 : coral sanctuary (((new attribute)))

Definitions:

coral sanctuary:

a place where coral is protected

Remarks:

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.
