Title of the file: coastline.txt
Units: geographical coordinates - decimal degree (WGS 84).
Introduction: Coastline is used for showing the contours
of the seas and includes the coastlines of the islands.
Date of creation (last revision): May, 1999.
Used dataset: The coastline was digitized from the
Navigation Map of the Caspian Sea published by the Navigation and Oceanography Department
of the Defense Ministry of the USSR in 1987. (Scale 1:1000000, Mercator projection) and
was corrected in some details using the image from the satellite "Resurs" made
in 1997. Resolution of the image is 150 m.
