Something you could try is to display the WMS link (which may or may
not be helpful) - The last thing on the Website is a link to the WMS
service:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal;

The 6th icon on the Manage layers toolbar provides the ability
to add a WMS link (toolbar on your left). Click that and
Create a new Connection (naming it what you wish) and copying
the above link into the URL portion. Click Connect. Select the
top line and click Add. Ignore any error messages (2.12
provides one) and then you can view the data. Of course it's a
WMS so not as functional as vector data but it's at least
something. <br>
<br>
I tried ripping the kml through ogr2ogr and there were errors
upon errors and I sorta went crosseyed thinking about it. <br>

<div style="font-size: 13px;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:

U.S. Pacific coast littoral cells, one line and one polygon
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/55ce7ca2e4b01487cbfc711a">https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/55ce7ca2e4b01487cbfc711a</a>),
in QGIS 2.10.1 without success.<br>
<br>
I am able to display the line file in Google Earth. I think I
once succeeded in opening the polygon file in Google Earth,
but subsequently have been unable to, so I may be mistaken. I
can't tell whether the polygon file just takes inordinately
long to open, or whether there is something wrong with it.<br>
<br>
I can add both files to QGIS as vector layers, but no lines or
polygons are visible. When I open the properties dialogues for
each, the style and labels tabs are blank. If I try to save
the layer as a shapefile, I get the error:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Export to vector file failed.<br>
Error: creation of layer failed (OGR error:Geometry type of
`3D Geometry Collection' not supported in shapefiles.<br>
Type can be overridden with a layer creation option<br>
of
SHPT=POINT/ARC/POLYGON/MULTIPOINT/POINTZ/ARCZ/POLYGONZ/MULTIPOINTZ.)<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
If I try to save the layer as a shape file using that layer
creation option, it fails with the error:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Export to vector file failed.<br>
Error: creation of layer failed (OGR error:Unknown SHPT
value of
`POINT/ARC/POLYGON/MULTIPOINT/POINTZ/ARCZ/POLYGONZ/MULTIPOINTZ'
passed to Shapefile layer creation. Creation aborted.)<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Can anyone suggest how I can open these files in QGIS? I have
successfully opened other KML files as layers in QGIS, so I
think the problem is with these specific files, not QGIS's
ability to handle KML files.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
