Binary adjacency matrix for neast

Description

A binary adjacency matrix for the neast data set. Some of the islands (e.g., Nantucket) are considered adjacent to the mainland because of ferries traveling from certain mainland regions to these islands. Manual connections were added for many of the New York counties because they are on islands.
