Chart for Blying Sound - Cook Inlet - 3nm Line

The State/Federal fishery management boundary is "the old" 3 nm line on this chart. If you are fishing in this area refer to the Cook Inlet EEZ Area Maps webpage for information on the Cook Inlet EEZ Area and electronic navigational charts. This paper chart or chartlet is for reference only.

NOAA navigation charts published between 2006 and October 2011 show changes in the 3 nautical mile (nm) line. The 3nm line changed because a new method was used to calculate the baseline. For fishery for management and enforcement purposes, the boundary between State of Alaska waters and federal waters is the 3nm line on the pre-2006 NOAA charts, except in specific areas where the U.S Baseline Committee has made recent recommendations.
