This line was generated from NOAAs 3 nautical mile offshore maritime limit line clipped to California state waters. NOAAs Office of Coast Survey (OCS) has been responsible for generating the 3 Nautical Mile Line used as the state water maritime limit used on official paper charts and raster navigational charts (RNC).This line is primarily used for cartographic purposes. A polygon version of this feature will be downloaded in tandem with the line and is recommended for any area calculations or analysis. The approximate mean high tide line was generated through study region delineation conducted during the planning phase of implementing the Marine Life Protection Act. Attributes:LIMIT: Name of the maritime limit. STATE: State of maritime limit depicted. SRCSCALE: Map scales used to generate limit. SRCDATUM: Datum used to generate limit.

This dataset represents the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Districts used in commercial fishing regulations and referenced in the commercial fishing digest. The boundaries were drawn using various data sources. Please refer to the California Fish and Game Code, Division 8, Section 11000 for the specific boundaries. Only Marine Districts are included. Attributes:District: Number of the district. Description: Brief description of the district.

This feature depicts the 20-fathom boundary waypointsthat can be used in California groundfish regulations. The 20-fathom boundary line is a connection of a series of GPS coordinates published in California regulations (California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 35.00) that are intended to approximate underwater depth contours. This boundary, as well as the federal Rockfish Conservation Areas, are used in recreational and commercial groundfish regulations to avoid interactions with certain groundfish species of concern. For both the recreational and commercial fisheries, boundary lines may change during the year, between seasons and management area. Attributes:id_area: unique identifying number for a particular coordinate within a particular line.area_name: identifying name for a particular line at a particular depth contour, primarily distinguishes between coastwide lines and lines around islands.lat_dd: Decimal degree latitude of the waypoint.lon_dd: Decimal degree longitude of the waypoint.lat_ddm: Decimal degree minute latitude of the waypoint.lon_ddm: Decimal degree minute longitude of the waypoint.region: Groundfish Management Zone that the waypoint is in.
