- Abstract:
-
This GIS data set consists of general areas of restricted navigation in the Gulf of Mexico, Florida Straits, and Atlantic Ocean. These data consist of navigation restriction zones or precautionary zones as depicted on U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) navigation charts and described in detail in the U.S. Coast Pilot. The polygons were digitized from nautical charts of varying scale and should therefore be used for GENERAL PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. A code number on the NOS chart usually links each specific location to its defining section in the U.S. Coast pilot. The code number is provided in this data set as the field titled "REGNUM." Examples of these zones include but are not limited to: regulated navigation areas, limited access areas, security areas, anchorage areas, vessel traffic management, shipping fairways, offshore traffic separation schemes, ports and waterways safety and operations, danger zones and restricted areas, offshore disposal areas, naval training areas, cargo lightering areas, wildlife and fisheries regulated areas, and national marine sanctuary program regulated areas. The U.S. Coast Pilot provides detailed information about the nature and reason for specific restrictions. Additions or revisions to the U.S. Coast Pilot are published in the Notices to Mariners. Refer to charted regulation section numbers to cross reference locations depicted on charts (or in this data set) with the descriptions of the regulations and authority as provided in the U.S. Coast Pilot. Further information concerning the regulations themselves may be obtained at the Office of the Commander, 7th Coast Guard District in Miami, Florida or at the Office of District Engineer, Corps of Engineers in Jacksonville, Florida.
- Purpose:
-
These data are intended to represent general locations of navigation concern for general cartographic purposes only.
- 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.

Available with Caution. All data must be verified by Principal Investigator or Group Database Analyst prior to release. It is strongly recommended that this data is directly acquired from FWC and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. FWC makes no claims as to the data's suitability for other purposes.
- Use_Constraints:
-
Acknowledgement of the FWC-FWRI (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute) as the data source would be appreciated in any products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected by users of this data. Please cite the original metadata when using portions of the record to create a similar record of slightly altered data, such as reprojection. If any data are modified or adjusted, please share the edited information with FWC. Users should be aware that comparison with other data sets for the same area from other time periods may be inaccurate due to inconsistencies resulting from changes in mapping conventions, data collection, and computer processes over time. FWC shall not be liable for improper or incorrect use of this data. These data are not legal documents and are not to be used as such. This is not a survey data set and should not be utilized as such. These data are not to be used for navigation.
These data are intended for general information purposes only. The boundaries as depicted in this data set are approximate. Positional accuracy varies widely depending upon the map scale of the original source document. These data are subject to change. The original source documents themselves are subject to change and modification. For any and all purposes other than depicting the general location of a navigation regulation zone, the most recent version of the appropriate NOAA Nautical Chart, U.S. Coast Pilot, and Notice to Mariners must be consulted.
