ARC/INFO files
*.e00 files are ARC export files
*.shp files are ARC shape files (located in COASTLINE/SHPFILE directory)
after_islds and before_coast are available as ARC GRID files
before_coast.e00 is the coastline before our revision
after_coast.e00 (only continental coastline) and after_islds.e00
(including both continent and islands) are the coastline after our
revision.
Before is the automatically derived coastline with minimal manual correction
After are the coastlines after detailed manual inspection and correction
