NOT FOR LEGAL USE. Users be advised that the accuracy of this dataset is somewhat dependent upon the accuracy of the state/federal marine boundary and EEZ data if it was used in the data creation process. For more details on this process, see the process description. The current text description from Title 50 Part 622, Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic, is always the one, true definition of the seasonal and/or area closures. These, or any other depictions, are for information purposes only and shouldn't be relied on for regulatory purposes.
