Positional Accuracy There was​ a​ constraint​ on​ the​ boundary​ of​ the​ protected​ area​ because​ the​ source​ of​ the​ map​ was​ not​ clear​ enough​ to​ digitize.​
Logical Consistency There are no known issues with logical consistency.
Completeness This​ dataset​ contains only the marine fisheries management area within​ Koh Rung Archipelago in Sihanouk province, Cambodia. ODC​ team​ will​ update​ a​ new​ management​ area when​ it​ is​ available on public domain.
Process Step ODC team​ downloaded​ the​ resource​ document​ from​ the website of Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries,​ in​ PDF​ format,​ and​ digitized​ the​ appendix​ map​ with​ QGIS.​ As the result, the boundary is slightly different from the original boundary because the source of the map was not clear enough to digitize.
