Introduction

Shelf and Geocap in general contains a lot more functionality than we have been through in these tutorials. This section highlights some of these topics.

Maritime Zones plugin

Maritime Zones plugin extends the Shelf package with additional capabilities for calculating maritime zones. It works directly with ArcGIS feature classes and can calculate any maritime zone from both normal and straight baselines. The calculation also extracts critical points for each zone and store them in a feature class. More information here: https://geocap.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ug/Maritime+Zones+plugin
