Before continue,  please read this post : ArcGIS for Ocean : How to Make Base Map in ArcMap (Part 1)

Ok lets continue to the next step.

After put the data in ArcCatalog 10.1, open ArcMap 10.1. In the left side, you will see Table of Contents box, right click Layers and choose Add Data. Add the data downloaded in folder made previously. Add coastlines in GSHHS_shp folder and choose full resolution in h folder and then add GSHHS_h_L1 file. Because I want to add province boundaries in this map, so I add administrative boundaries IDN_adm1. Add EZZ data from folder, choose World_EEZ_v7_2012_HR.shp because I only need EZZ as maritime boundaries.


World EZZ layer added previously provides all EZZ country in the world, to show only Indonesia EZZ, right click World EZZ layer and click Properties, in Symbology tab menu click Categories > Unique Values in right box, in Value Field column search Country and click Add All Values, remove all country except Indonesia, double click and choose Hollow to change Indonesia colour be transparency, then uncheck <all other values>, and click OK.


You'll find like this


Add Total sediments thickness of the world ocean data, this data has E00 file type, this type do not show in ArcMap, so we use Input Interchange File. For this case use ArcToolbox, find and expand Conversion Tools then expand To Coverage Tools and open Import From E00.


Fill Input Interchange File column with sediment data. Output folder and output name column fill automatically, but you can change if you want. Then click OK

Wait until converting process finish.

After finish, add this output sediment data in to layer in Table of Contents box.


Ok finish, you can save this file or if this project want to print out, you can use Layout view and give another annotation, such as title etc.
