40042 fknms_py Data Set Published / External 37245 National Marine Sanctuary Boundaries Project Completed 2004-12 The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries manages a system of sanctuaries and other managed areas around the country. The legal boundaries of These sanctuaries are defined within the Code of Federal Regulations, at 15 C.F.R. Part 922 and thesubparts for each national marine sanctuary. The GIS compatible digital boundary files for each national marine sanctuary are representations of those legal boundaries and are based on the best available data. These files are available for public use at locations defined in this metadata record. These GIS compatible digital files are provided to promote an understanding of the boundaries of each national marine sanctuary. They are based on the legal definition of each sanctuary as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations, at 15C.F.R. Part 922 and the subparts for each national marine sanctuary. These digital files are not intended and should not be relied upon for use in navigation or legal purposes. For legal questions relating to the digital files, please contact the ONMS at the information provided in this metadata record. 1353 none Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category boundaries Theme NOS Data Explorer Topic Category Marine Boundaries Theme NOS Data Explorer Topic Category Nautical Charting Theme CFR Theme Code of Federal Regulations Theme MPA Theme NMS Theme National Marine Sanctuary Theme ONMS Theme marine protected area Spatial Atlantic Ocean Spatial Florida Spatial Florida Keys Spatial Marine Office of National Marine Sanctuaries Silver Spring MD Data Set Continually on varying schedule vector digital data Users must assume responisibility to determine the appropriate use of These data.

The network includes a system of national marine sanctuaries and marine national monuments. Few places on the planet can compete with the diversity of the National Marine Sanctuary System, which protects America's most iconic undersea natural and cultural resources. The system works with diverse partners and stakeholders to promote responsible, sustainable ocean uses that ensure the health of our most valued ocean and Great Lake places. By investing in innovative solutions, we strengthen these iconic places to address 21st-century challenges while supporting America's commerce and tourism. These unique locations inspire people to visit, value, and steward our nation's iconic ocean and Great Lakes places. Converted from FGDC using 'fgdc_to_inport_xml_entity.pl' script.

A point coverage was then generated using ArcInfo GIS. The coverage was projected into the Geographic Coordinate System and overlaid on large scale nautical charts and analyzed with additional data such as adjacent sanctuaries and shorelines. Specific attention was given to analysis of inconsistencies between textual descriptions and listed coordinates. The polyline files were created using a combination of the coordinate list from the CFR and applicable shoreline vector files. For point files, two methods were used. If the sanctuary had a shoreline component, a polyline to point script was used to create a point foreach vertice. If a shoreline component was not present, then the original coordinates from the CFR were used to create a point shapefile. Polygon files were created by converting polylines to polygons.
