Hi
I’m doing a research project about renewable energy, and I need a
map of ocean depths near shore lines in order to figure out where one can
place wind turbines. I also need information about which country a given point
in the ocean belongs to (near shorelines).
On natural earth data I can find information about countries (10m_admin_0_countries)
and bathymetry in 0-10-100 meter scales. But the country borders does not extend into the sea,
and the bathymetry data is not fine enough. I specifically need a 60 meter depth border/polygon.
10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90-100m data would be very useful for me.
How do I get this kind of data? Is there some universal rule to determine
which piece of ocean belongs to what country, or can I download a polygon file?
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of map I was looking for!
I could not really find any information on bathymetry. Googling bathymetry
takes me to the British oceanographic data centre, where they also have low depth resolution
near shores. Even NOAA (http://ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/bathymetry/relief.html) does not seem to
have this data.
