Description:
Abstract:
This GIS data set represents the Continental Shelf Boundary in the Gulf of Mexico. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is responsible for the development and management of the mineral resources in those areas of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) within Federal jurisdiction.
Purpose: To represent the Continental Shelf Boundary in GIS format.
Supplemental_Information:
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.
These data were obtained for use in the FMSAS. These data are maintained by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. All requests for these data should be made directly to BOEM.
