This spreadsheet worksheet is the central tracking document and inventory of "official" Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data in development at the Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office (GARFO). |
* Purpose |
The purpose of this worksheet is to provide a central inventory of standardized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data products developed at GARFO. Currently, the only "official" GIS products in development are shapefiles of NMFS Fishing Regulated Areas in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Waters (Reg Areas). This worksheet tracks the workflow and development status of each Reg Area shapefile ending with its "publication" to the GARFO GIS website. |

» Description |
The purpose of this worksheet is to provide a central inventory of standardized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data products developed at GARFO. Currently, the only "official" GIS products in development are shapefiles of NMFS Fishing Regulated Areas in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Waters(Reg Areas). This worksheet tracks the workflow and development status of each Reg Area shapefile ending with its "publication" to the GARFO GIS website. |
Change Summary |
This is the initial version of the spreadsheet. Precursor documents existed, but were combined to form the various components of this spreadsheet. This is a living document, and is updated as needed to describe the current development status of GIS data depicting GARFO Regulated Areas. |

100 | No | No | SHP NAME | text | Lists the shapefile file name which holds the Reg Area. Some shapefiles hold a single Reg Area. Others hold multiple Reg Areas. |
100 | No | No | DATA CREATION NOTES | text | Specifies whether there are comments specific to the Reg Area definition which need to be reviewed with policy staff. |
100 | No | No | OFFICE HOURS | text | Specifies if, when and with whom "Office Hours" sessions were held. These meetings between the GIS Specialist and the Policy expert are used to review any questions/concerns with the Reg Area legal definition text. |
100 | No | No | COMMENTS ADDRESSED | text | Describes if the comments mentioned in the "DATA CREATION NOTES" field have been addressed. This may capture decisions regarding how to interpret boundary definitions, changes made to the boundary definitions, outstanding edits to be addressed which do not affect data development, or any other notes on how the boundaries are drawn. |
100 | No | No | CHECK GEOMETRY | text | Specifies the date when the Reg Area successfully passed the ESRI Check Geometry tool. |
100 | No | No | FIELDS | text | Describes the most recent step taken towards populating the attributes for the Regulated Area. Workflow steps are unrestricted. The final step should specify the date when the populated attribute table (following the schema standard) was imported to the shapefile. |
100 | No | No | METADATA | text | Specifies whether FGDC CSDGM-compliant metadata has been authored and applied to this Reg Area's shapefile. Includes the date of the most recent step taken (workflow steps are unrestricted). The final step should specify when compliant metadata was validated against the standard. |

100 | No | No | ASSIGN GARFO_ID | text | Specifies the date of the most recent step taken towards assigning a unique GARFO_ID to the Regulated Area. Typically, the GARFO_ID assignment is the final step before the shapefile is considered complete and ready for publication. The GARFO_ID value is generated by the macro stored in the "GARFO_ID Generator" worksheet, and that value is stored in this tracking spreadsheet, any spreadsheets used to draft attributes, and the shapefile attribute table. Workflows are unrestricted. The final step should specify when a GARFO_ID was assigned to the Regulated Area. |
100 | No | No | SHP COMPLETE | text | Specifies the date the Regulated Area is considered complete: geometry, attributes and metadata all fully completed, reviewed, and approved. |
100 | No | No | SHP ZIPPED | text | Specifies the date the completed Regulated Area shapefile is compressed into a ZIP file, along with its human-readable format metadata and preview map figures. |

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 403, parties who produce copyrighted works consisting predominantly of material created by the Federal Government are encouraged to provide notice with such work(s) identifying the U.S. Government material incorporated and stating that such material is not subject to copyright protection. Please cite Regulated Area datasets as follows, with the appropriate information substituted for all text in {CURLY BRACKETS}:NOAA Fisheries Service. NMFS Regulated Areas in Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Waters. {SHAPEFILE TITLE} [Shapefile]. Gloucester, MA: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office (GARFO) [producer] {SHAPEFILE PUBLICATION DATE}. http://www.greateratlantic.fisheries.noaa.gov/gis. *** No Warranty*** The user assumes the entire risk related to its use of these data. NMFS is providing these data "as is," and NMFS disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or implied, including (without limitation) any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. No warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the accuracy or utility of the data on any other system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. It is strongly recommended that careful attention be paid to the contents of the metadata file associated with these data to evaluate dataset limitations, restrictions or intended use. In no event will NMFS be liable to you or to any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages or lost profit resulting from any use or misuse of this data. *** Proper Usage *** The information on government servers are in the public domain, unless specifically annotated otherwise, and may be used freely by the public. Before using information obtained from this server, special attention should be given to the date and time of the data and products being displayed. This information shall not be modified in content and then presented as official government material. This dataset was created to depict the boundaries of NMFS Regulated Areas in Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Waters (Regulated Areas) only. The dataset should not be used for a legal definition. The dataset should not be used to infer information regarding the existence or details of other marine features or resources, including, but not limited to, navigable waters, coastlines, bathymetry, submerged features, or man-made structures. Users assume responsibility for determining the appropriate use of this dataset. *** Not the Legal Definition *** This Geographic Information System (GIS) dataset is not the legal definition of the Regulated Area. The description published in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations is the only legal definition. This dataset and metadata document provide a broad overview of a subset of applicable fishing regulations, restrictions and requirements; it is not a substitute for the actual regulations. Users are encouraged to read the applicable regulations in conjunction with use of this dataset. *** Temporal Considerations *** Regulated Area boundary definitions are subject to change or modification. Published datasets may represent historic, current, or future Regulated Areas. When changes to fishing regulations affect this dataset, it will be archived and replaced by an updated version as soon as feasible. Approved Regulated Area boundaries may also be published prior to their effective date. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the applicable Regulated Area boundaries are being used. *** Shorelines/Base Layers *** The accuracy of this dataset is dependent upon the accuracy and resolution of the datasets (e.g., shoreline, bathymetry, shared administrative boundaries) used in the creation process. Source datasets used are specified in the metadata. These data sources were selected for their suitability to a broad audience, and may not be suitable for specific uses requiring higher-resolution information. Coastlines change. Unless otherwise noted, where the NOAA Medium Resolution Shoreline is used, assume the regulatory boundary reaches the most current coastline delineation available. |
