Types of common marine applications could be recording the sampling effort of a research vessel along legs of a survey, the duration of a trawl, and a segment of an autonomous vehicle track. With the required time attributes, each of these types of Time Duration Line features could be associated with other marine features based on the time of the observation along the line.
