* » Abstract

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 the subparts 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.
* Purpose

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.

Users must assume responisibility to determine the appropriate use of These data. These boundaries are not to be used as LEGAL definitions. The boundaries are created with the most recent and accurate boundary information available, but the edges and/or borders of the boundaries may change due to the natural land changes, site boundary modification or higher resolution maps. Therefore, the currency or accuracy of these boundaries cannot be guaranteed.

Process Steps

Process Step Number 1
» Description

The geographic boundary coordinates listed within the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) were converted to decimal degrees and a text file was created. A point coverage was then generatedusing 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. For more detailed process description, please use contact information below.
