 - Abstract:                          This dataset consists of XYZ points below the sea surface and relative to mean sea level. These data were collected for the University of Zululand, Zoology Dept. using the ACEP Geophysics and Mapping Platform. 
 - Purpose:                           These data were collected to provide planning context for physical, biological and ecotoxicological sampling in ordrer to assess ecosystem health and biodiversity within the geospatial setting (geomorphology).
