Found that page a while back. Thanks.

An ENC database is a file containing both geographic and hydrographic
topological data, depth soundings, and other GIS data that conforms to
the International Geophysical S-57 standard. The US has been creating
such charts for all of its territorial waters and posessions, even
uninhabited Navassa Island has been digitally charted. Other major
nations are supposed to be doing the same thing with their own
posessions and waters, which I why I want someone literate in French to
find such a chart on French government servers that is available to the
public.
