bounds = numpy.array([[-77, 39], [-75, 40]])

# retrieve a list of the first 5 surveys
first_5_surveys = NGDCSeabedDescriptions.all_surveys()[:5]

# intialize a Seabed Description object with specific surveys and bounds
seabed_descriptions = NGDCSeabedDescriptions(surveys=first_5_surveys, bounds=bounds)

print(f'surveys: {seabed_descriptions.surveys}')
print(f'bounds: {seabed_descriptions.bounds}')
print(f'descriptions: {seabed_descriptions.descriptions}')
print(f'data: {seabed_descriptions.data}')
