Using a 1km resolution bathymetry file, depth contours were created at 10m intervals using ArcToolbox's Contour Tool. (ArcToolbox<Spatial Analyst Tools<Surface<Contour) 2017-12-15T00:00:00 O'Conner, Robert 808-725-5083 Robert.OConner@noaa.gov processor The layer's properties were changed to display the unique values for the contours. Applying the Definition Query's Query Builder, the 240m contour polyline was isolated and exported as a shapefile. The completed polyline was converted to a polygon using Arctoolbox's Feature to Polygon Tool. (ArcToolbox<Data Management Tools<Feature<Feature to Polygon) Using Arctoolbox's Smooth Polygon Tool, the polygon was smoothed using a Bezier algorithm.
