Description:      Ocean Recreation Zones for the State of Hawaii.  General 
                  ocean recreation areas may be found in the ORECGENL coverage.  
                  Recreation sub-zones can be found in the ORECSUBZ
                  coverage.  Special overlapping zones can be found in the 
                  ORECSPEC coverage.
		
Source:           Legislative Citations (see polygon attributes for specific
                  citations).

History:    Compiled and digitized by Ogden Environmental Services, 1994.
            Beginning points for most areas were compiled onto USGS quad
            maps; then generally screen digitized using legislative 
            citation descriptions.  Ogden attemped to correct problem
            polygons (see orec.problems) by consulting with DLNR,
            Division of Boating and Recreation.

Note 1:     There were significant problems encountered while developing
            this layer.  Ogden found that the State GIS coastline and 
            features on the nautical charts often did not match.  In 
            addition, in the legislative citations, the narrative often
            conflicted with maps and drawings in the exhibits.  Each 
            problem encountered, and any corrections made are fully 
            documented in orec.problems
