Title: Oculina Bank Habitat Area of Particular Concern (HAPC)

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: Vector Digital Data Set (Polygon)

Description:

Abstract:

This GIS data set represents the use restrictions within Oculina Bank Habitat Area of Particular Concern (HAPC). On July 17, 2015, NMFS published a final rule in the Federal Register (80 FR 42423) to implement provisions for Amendment 8, that expands portions of the northern and western boundaries of the Oculina Bank HAPC and allows transit through the Oculina Bank HAPC by fishing vessels with rock shrimp onboard; modifies vessel monitoring systems (VMS) requirements for rock shrimp fishermen transiting through the Oculina Bank HAPC. https://federalregister.gov/a/2015-17617.The Amendment 8 final rule contained some incorrect waypoints for the Oculina Bank Habitat Area of Particular Concern (HAPC)(Oculina Bank HAPC) as well as incorrect language regarding the gear stowage requirements for vessels with rock shrimp onboard transiting through the Oculina Bank HAPC. https://federalregister.gov/a/2015-25488

Purpose: These data spatially represent the Oculina Bank HAPC.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Atrributes match current descriptions of the Federal Register.

Logical_Consistency_Report: These data are topologically and logically consistent.

Completeness_Report:

Complete Pending NMFS SFD Review. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Positional accuracy matches FMRI's graticule data layer and the 100 fathom contour bathymetric data layer digitized from the 1997 version of the Nautical Chart 11460. This is not the most current version of the chart available, so the 100-fathom contour location may not be accurate.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has either not been conducted, or is not applicable.

Source_Contribution:

This correcting amendment corrects the positions for the Oculina Bank HAPC and the associated gear stowage provisions that were incorrectly described in the final rule.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The original version of this layer used bounding coordinates from a NOAA press release which FMRI used to generate the coverage in ArcInfo.

Process_Date: 20000801

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

In 2003, FMRI staff adjusted the linework to match existing data and corrected attribute inaccuracies using the November 2003 version of the legal description.

Process_Date: 20031101

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

In 2015, Oculina HAPC boundaries were updated with new coordinates described in the Amendment 8 Final Rule.

Process_Date: 20150717

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

In 2015, Oculina HAPC boundaries were updated with the corrected coordinates described in the Amendment 8 Final Rule; Correcting Amendment. As published, the final rule for Amendment 8, published on July 17, 2015 (80 FR 42423), incorrectly listed three waypoints for the Oculina Bank HAPC and incorrectly described gear stowage language for vessels transiting the area. Coordinates are added to § 622.224(b)(1) and language is revised in § 622.224(b)(1)(i)(C) to correct these errors.
