variable	waterBody		String
attribute	waterBody	coverage_content_type	String	referenceInformation
attribute	waterBody	description	String	The name of the water body in which the observation was made. For marine data, this is the ocean name. If there is a more specific named region, such as a bay or reef, or sector of the ocean (for example, northwest Pacific), add the regional name after the ocean name, separated by a semicolon.

variable	locality		String
attribute	locality	coverage_content_type	String	referenceInformation
attribute	locality	description	String	The locality is the most specific named place to identify the location of the observation. Many marine data rely strictly on geographic coordinates, so the locality term may be null. If a locality is used, it may be a specific location or feature name, such as "Pier 39" or "Atafu Atoll", or it may include a descriptive phrase, such as "a tidal pool 1500 meters north of Pier 39". Note that in marine observations, the latitude and longitude may be more precise than any named place would suggest, because the coordinates often come from navigation of GPS systems. Geographic names can be secondary locality identifiers and they can be less precise than coordinates.
