These data represent Seasonal Mangagement Area locations where regulations implement speed restrictions in shipping areas at certain times of the year along the coast of the U.S. Atlantic seaboard. The purpose of the regulations is to reduce the likelihood of deaths and serious injuries to endangered North Atlantic right whales that result from collisions with ships as designated by 73 FR 60173, October 10, 2008, Rules and Regulations. Sunset clause removed 78 FR 73726, December 9, 2013
The purpose of these data is to visually represent the Seasonal Mangagement Area speed restriction locations for endangered North Atlantic right whales for GIS analysis and display. The NOAA Medium Resolution Vector Shoreline was added to create polygons for ease in symbolization.

dataset
Representativeness
The SMAs geographic coordinates were compared to 73 FR 60173 to make sure no coordinates were omitted
Accuracy
Various methods and projections were used to buffer the ports for the SMA polygons. Some differed by a few meters.
Analytical Accuracy
The various methods may have differed by 1%.
Quantitation Limits
some error is inherent in port location, the NOAA Medium Resolution Vector Shoreline, and COLREG-72 boundaries. The GIS polygons should be used for ease in symbolization and not for navigation.
Completeness Measure
The dataset is complete. All SMAs are included in the dataset.
Completeness Report
The SMAs geographic coordinates were compared to 73 FR 60173 to make sure no coordinates were omitted.
Conceptual Consistency
The SMA areas were compared to the 73 FR 60173 for consistency.
The SMAs geographic coordinates were compared to 73 FR 60173 to make sure no coordinates were omitted.
points for the Southeast U.S. were provided by the Southeast right whale Coordinator. Lines connected the points, and the NOAA Medium Resolution Vector Shoreline was used with the 72 COLREGS lines to complete the polygon for the Southeast U.S. SMA.

Points were located at the midpoint of the four port entrances in the northern Mid-Atlantic region. The points were projected to an Equi-distant Conic projection. The buffer tool was run at 20 nmi. The buffers were clipped using the NOAA Medium Resolution Vector Shoreline, and the 72 COLREGS to create the four port SMAs. The data was unprojected (Geographic Coordinate System). For the southern Mid-Atlantic region SMA, the Wilmington, NC, Georgetown, and Charleston, SC, Savannah and Brunswick, GA ports were buffered at 20 nm (using an Equi-distant Conic projection). A points on the buffer seaward and opposite each of the ports were connected to approximate a 20nm buffer of the shoreline. The NOAA Medium Resolution Vector Shoreline and 72 COLREGS were used to complete the polygon for the southern Mid-Atlantic SMA.

The points for the Northeast U.S. and Block Island Sound SMA's were provided to the NMFS Southeast Regional Office by NMFS offices in the Northeast. Lines were created to connect the points, and the NOAA Medium Resolution Vector Shoreline was used with the 72 COLREG lines to create closed polygons for these areas.
