+ GSHHS is a high-resolution shoreline data set amalgamated from two
+ databases in the public domain. The data have undergone extensive
+ processing and are free of internal inconsistencies such as erratic
+ points and crossing segments. The shorelines are constructed
+ entirely from hierarchically arranged closed polygons. The data can
+ be used to simplify data searches and data selections, or to study
+ the statistical characteristics of shorelines and land-masses.
