NOAA/PIBHMC 5-m Bathymetry: CNMI: Marpi Bank: Hillshade

A 5-m resolution gridded digital elevation model (DEM) grayscale hillshade for the bathymetry (ocean depth) surrounding Marpi Bank in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) compiled from ship-borne multibeam sonar surveys. Marpi Bank is a steep-sided, flat-topped submerged bank approximately 28 km north of Saipan. Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between 53 and 400 m. Data collected by the Pacific Islands Benthic Habitat Mapping Center (PIBHMC) in support of NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program. Not to be used for navigational purposes.
