information
United States Regions used for the Ocean Reporting Tool (ORT). This file includes lands for the coastal states falling within a region as well as its offshore state and federal waters out to the Exclusive Economic Zone (200nm). The ORT team defined the regions as follows: North Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, West Coast, Alaska, and Pacific Islands. North Atlantic includes Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island; Mid-Atlantic includes New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Washington D.C, and Virginia; South Atlantic includes North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and East Coast Florida; Gulf of Mexico includes Western Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas; Caribbean includes Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands; West Coast includes California, Oregon, and Washington; and Pacific Islands includes American Samoa, Baker Island, Guam, Hawaii, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Palmyra Atoll, and Wake Island.
To support coastal and ocean planning and other activities pursuant to the Energy Policy Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Rivers and Harbors Act and the Submerged Lands Act.

dataset
Accuracy
The attributes in this dataset are believed to be accurate.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy
Maximum scale of intended use is 1:80,000.
Completeness Report
Spatial and attribute properties are believed to be complete, although attribute information has been simplified. Geometric thresholds from original data are preserved. No tests have been completed for exhaustiveness.
Conceptual Consistency
These data are believed to be logically consistent. Geometry is topologically clean.
1. Reprojected all source data into World Merc and stored here: RegionsWorking.gdb
2. Created ORT_Regions feature class, with a "Name" field.
3. Added all data to map, saved as Regions.mxd
4. For Land Borders
a. Dissolve Congressional Districts by State
b. Edit Congressional Districts by State
c. Remove non-coastal/GL states
d. Stop editing
e. Start Edit ORT_Regions
f. Select all remaining features in the edited/dissolved congressional districts layer
g. Copy and Paste into ORT_Regions fc
h. Merge states for each region, rename features to match region names
i. North Atlantic: ME, NH, MA, RI, CT
ii. Mid-Atlantic: NY, NJ, DE, Md, DC, VA
iii. South Atlantic: NC, SC, GA, East Coast FL
iv. Gulf of Mexico: Western FL, AL, MS, LA, TX
• For Florida divisions: http://safmc.net/
• Land/Onshore divisions
• Following US highway 1 route and thence upon lat line found in image here: Http://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/maps/
• Counties – divided as Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic using best judgement through state.
• Created GL_GulfCoast_Counties and FL_AtlCoast_Counties merged all counties in each of these files to end up with 1 feature each)
v. Caribbean: PR, USVI
vi. West Coast: CA, OR, WA
vii. Alaska
viii. Pacific Islands: Hawaii & All Territories
5. For Offshore Boundaries
Sources: US States Submerged Lands boundary (USSSL), Outer Continual Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for areas without OSCLA coverage.
a. Explode OSCLA and USSSL files
b. Copy all OCSLA polygons into ORT_Regions
c. Copy all USSSL polygons (except the Great Lakes) into ORT_Regions
d. Merge new ORT_Region polygons based on regional divisions for
i. west coast, Alaska, pacific islands, Caribbean
ii. For North Atlantic and Mid-Atlantic Divisions: cut east coast polygons using BOEM’s Atl Admin Boundaries and the Congressional Districts at the division for CT/NY waters and VA/NC waters.
iii. For South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico divisions: Cut offshore polygons to the BOEM GOM Planning Area boundary; For onshore FL divisions, performed union on data created in step 4.h.iv.; Selected all features falling within GOM and merged; Selected all features falling within South Atlantic and Merged.
6. Check Geometry.
