To reach the tidal bench marks, from the Guam airport, travel east on Chalan
Passajeros (Route 10A) for 2.9 km (1.8 mi) until you reach the main gate of the
Naval Station Guam.  Obtain a visitor's pass and continue on Marine Drive for
2.9 km (1.8 mi) until you reach San Luis Road, turn right (east) and follow the
boat channel on your right to its entrance.    The bench marks are located
between Small Boat Channel and Fleet Landing Channel.  The tide house is located
on the east corner of the entrance to the Sunny Cove Marina boat harbor.

Mean Sea Level (MSL) is a tidal datum determined over a 19-year National
Tidal Datum Epoch.  It pertains to local mean sea level and should not be
confused with any other fixed island datum.

This tide station location has a defined island datum (GUVD04).  Island datums
are specific fixed geodetic datums whose elevation relationship to local MSL
and other tidal datums may not be consistent from one location to another.

Guam Vertical Datum of 2004 (GUVD04) is a fixed datum derived from a
simultaneous, least squares, minimum constraint adjustment of leveling
observations.  Local mean sea level relative to the 1983-2001 National Tidal
Datum Epoch observed at tide station 1630000 at Apra  Harbor, Guam, was held
fixed as the single initial constraint.  GUVD04 replaces all previous height
system as the national standard geodetic reference for heights on Guam.  Bench
mark elevations relative to GUVD04 are available from NGS through the
World Wide Web at National Geodetic Survey.

The Vertical Mark Number (VM#) and PID# shown on the bench mark sheet are unique
identifiers for bench marks in the tidal and geodetic databases, respectively.
Each bench mark in either database has a single, unique VM# and/or PID# assigned.
Where both VM# and PID# are indicated, both tidal and geodetic elevations are
available for the bench mark listed. The NGS's Integrated Data Base (IDB PID)
provides geodetic datum based on traditionally leveled and bluebooked ties to
the National Spatial Reference System(NSRS) https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/datasheets/.
The NGS Online Positioning User Service (OPUS PID) provides geodetic datum based
on GPS position & tie it to the NSRS https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/OPUS/.

The GUVD04 elevation is shown on the Elevations of Tidal Datums Table Referred
to MLLW only when two or more of the bench marks listed have GUVD04 elevations.
The GUVD04 elevation relationship shown in the table is derived from an average
of several bench mark elevations relative to tide station datum.  As a result of
this averaging, GUVD04 bench mark elevations computed indirectly from the tidal
datums elevation table may differ slightly from GUVD04 elevations listed for
each bench mark in the NGS database.
