Title:

International Collision at Sea Regulation Lines United States East Coast and Gulf of Mexico

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

This data is to visualize the exemption lines from Maine to Florida as they pertain to the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan. This data was also used to visualize COLREGS-72 exemption lines from New Jersey to South Florida as they pertain to the Bottlenose Dolphin Take Reduction Plan. Further data to include the Gulf of Mexico states from Florida to Texas is used to visualize future plans for protected species.

Purpose:

This data is to visualize the exemption lines from Maine to Texas.

Process_Description:

NOAA RNC's were used as a background to perform heads-up digitizing to correct COLREGS-72 lines from NJ/NY border to North Florida. Lines from North Florida to Texas were newly created using the charts as a background reference. An attribute for the chart number used for reference was added. ...appending to the COLREG-72 shapefile from NMFS/NERO
