|---|---|
| » Description |
Extract National Estuarine Research Reserve, Marine National Monument, National Monument, National Park, National Marine Sanctuaries, National Seashore, National Wildlife Refuge, National Wilderness Area, polygons intersecting FederalAndStateWaters and located up to 20 miles inland of the coastline. Dissolve extracted polygons to multi-part features by site name and combine into a single feature class. For each site, set the "URL" field to a website created by the managing agency, if available, or use the provided "no information" link ("http://marinecadastre.gov/noinfo/"). Extract PADUS1_4 features within FederalAndStateWaters state waters component or located up to 20 miles inland of the coastline that are classified as State Parks and append. Repair all source feature geometry. Extract MPAI_2017 features within FederalAndStateWaters state waters component or located up to 20 miles inland of the coastline. Remove any federal or fishing/boating restriction sites (sites designated as 'Bottomfish Restricted Fishing Area', 'Cape Cod Bay Year-Round Fish Pot Trawl Floating Ground Line Prohibition Area', 'Closure Area', 'Crab Sanctuary', 'Crab Spawning Sanctuary', 'Fishery Management Area', 'Fishery Research Area', 'Game Land', 'Harvest Prohibited Area', 'Harvest Prohibited or Restricted Area', 'Harvesting of Oysters Prohibited Area', 'Nursery Areas', 'Right Whale Critical Habitat and Adjacent Waters Restricted Gear Area', 'Shellfish Management Area', 'Shellfish Preserve', 'Special Area Management Plan', 'Special Closure', 'Trawl Nets Prohibited Areas','Manatee Protection Zones', 'Motorboats Prohibited Zone', or 'No Entry Zone') and append remaining state sites. |
