Full Citation Examples
Federal Statutes influence the use of the coastal zone and outer continental shelf in varied ways depending on location and activity. Some statutes have clearly defined and static geographic footprints, while others have shifted over time because of their dependence on a natural boundary or a change of policy. Statutes also tend to be topically focused and administered by one or more agencies. Within any given location it is highly likely that overlapping statutes and multiple agencies will have a controlling interest. Effective management, use and conservation of public trust resources within this setting is a place-based process with a rich statutory history.
The footprint of the following fourteen different federal statutes is contained in this collection and can be extracted using the supporting look-up tables.
> Abandoned Shipwreck Act
> Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships
> Clean Water Act
> Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
> Endangered Species Act
> Energy Policy Act
> Marine Debris Research Prevention and Reduction Act
> Marine Mammal Protection Act
> National Environmental Policy Act
> National Marine Sanctuaries Act
> Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act
> Rivers and Harbors Act
> Submerged Lands Act
> U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Authority

| Abstract: |
Federal Statutes influence the use of the coastal zone and outer continental shelf in varied ways depending on location and activity. Some statutes have clearly defined and static geographic footprints, while others have shifted over time because of their dependence on a natural boundary or a change of policy. Statutes also tend to be topically focused and administered by one or more agencies. Within any given location it is highly likely that overlapping statutes and multiple agencies will have a controlling interest. Effective management, use and conservation of public trust resources within this setting is a place-based process with a rich statutory history. The footprint of the following fourteen different federal statutes is contained in this collection and can be extracted using the supporting look-up tables. > Abandoned Shipwreck Act > Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships > Clean Water Act > Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act > Endangered Species Act > Energy Policy Act > Marine Debris Research Prevention and Reduction Act > Marine Mammal Protection Act > National Environmental Policy Act > National Marine Sanctuaries Act > Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act > Rivers and Harbors Act > Submerged Lands Act > U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Authority |
| 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: |
This is a set of unique polygons and 2 reference tables that can be used together to generate the boundary of many different statutes within the coastal zone and outer continental shelf. Stand-alone and ready-to-use data products for the following statutes can also be found at the MarineCadastre.gov/data address: a) Coastal Zone Management Act b) National Environmental Policy Act c) Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act d) Submerged Lands Act |

Data Quality
| Representativeness: |
None of these boundaries should be considered definitive or authoritative, even though they originate from valid sources. Errors or inconsistencies may have been introduced as a result of: a) interpretation of the legal narrative, b) use of varied sources, c) projection methods, d) disputed boundaries, e) tidal baselines, and numerous other human and natural factors. |
