| Benchmarks | |
| Tide gauge benchmarks | Benchmark 12(1961) is the primary benchmark stamped 'NO 12 1961' set in the concrete apron at the east front corner of the Federal Aviation Administration Boat House |
| Benchmark relationships | TGBM is 14.28ft above Tide Gauge Zero (Station Datum) NOAA Chart Datum is 3.94ft above Station Datum Mean Sea Level (1960-1978) is 5.11ft above Station Datum |
| Auxiliary benchmarks | 8 additional benchmarks are levelled to the TGBM and to the Tide Stationon a yearly basis (BM P, BM L, BM J, BM 17, BM N, BM 13, BM H, BM K). Site inspection 1993 states 'levels agree with history'. BM Q destroyed in typhoon OMAR. |
