Name Type Definition Description
AcousticStation_P Feature Type The geographic location at which a set of acoustic observations were taken. -
AcousticStation_S Feature Type The geographic location at which a set of acoustic observations were taken. -
Crib_C Feature Type A permanent structure set in the water, typically framed with wooden beams and filled with rocks or boulders that is used to anchor log booms or support other constructions (for example: submerged outfalls, diffusers, or piers). They may always be dry, submerged, or covered and uncovered. Cribs should not be confused with water intake towers which may sometimes also be termed a 'crib'.

OffshoreConstruction_C Feature Type An artificial structure that is located offshore. It usually has a surface that is raised above the sea and may be used as a working stage for conducting offshore operations (for example: drilling for petroleum and/or natural gas, loading and/or unloading vessels, or navigation support).

Pontoon_P Feature Type An airtight air-filled hollow structure, usually rectangular in shape, which is buoyant in water. Pontoons have enough buoyancy to float both themselves and a significant load. Pontoons may serve as supports for bridges or piers.
Pontoon_S Feature Type An airtight air-filled hollow structure, usually rectangular in shape, which is buoyant in water. Pontoons have enough buoyancy to float both themselves and a significant load. Pontoons may serve as supports for bridges or piers.
ShorelineConstruction_C Feature Type An artificial structure attached to land bordering a body of water and fixed in position. It is usually fixed to the waterbody bottom (for example: a mole) but may occasionally be fixed in position (for example: attached to the shore at one end and held between pilings at the other), but floating. Shoreline constructions are normally used for berthing and/or protection.
