Please note: In many cases, the station position in our database is accurate
to only one minute. Thus, the tide gauge may not appear to be on the coast.
Supplying authority (NTC) have confirmed that all data refers to LAT (93-94). Tide gauge benchmark BM 201 is 2.0229 m above LAT. RLR (2009) is defined as 8.2 m below BM 201
