Generalised Coastline - WFS
It is about an automated derived coastline of the North Sea and Baltic Sea from different scale ranges of the Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) corresponding to the relative coverage area – see nautical product catalogue. The ENCs are produced in accordance with the valid international standard S-57.
It consists of generalised lines in the different ENC scale ranges Approach, Harbour and Berthing. None of these scale ranges provides a continuous coastline.
The derived coastline consists of natural and man-made (e. g. piers) elements.
As an alternative, there is a further coastline available. Information on this high-precision coastline is available via customer@bsh.de .
