Title: Military Operating Areas
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2024-01-05
Abstract:

An Operating Area (OPAREA) in where national defense training exercises and system qualification tests are routinely conducted. OPAREA boundaries are formally established by national designation and by international treaty for national defense training purposes. OPAREAs allow for specific exercises and training events to be coordinated with other federal, state, and local agencies, and also the general public using the Local Notice to Mariners.

The MarineCadastre.gov team worked with the Navy to provide this data, which is a subset of the Navy's Common Operating Picture for ocean planning purposes.

Purpose:

To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act.
Notes:

The data source field contains the name of the data source used in creating the feature class.
