Catzoc Table

The document defines zones of confidence (ZOC) for seafloor surveys based on position and depth accuracy. ZOC A1 provides the highest accuracy with position within ±5m+5% depth and full seafloor coverage. ZOC A2 has similar but lower accuracy within ±20m. ZOC B has lower position accuracy of ±50m but may still detect uncharted features. ZOC C and D have increasingly lower accuracy and coverage, with D providing only poor quality data.
