Marine Protected Areas (2006) - Guam, Mariana Islands

Boundaries of fisheries management areas (FMA) for the State of Hawaii. The mission of the Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) is to manage, conserve and restore the state's unique aquatic resources and ecosystems for present and future generations. Major program areas include projects to manage or enhance fisheries for long-term sustainability of the resources, protect and restore the aquatic environment, protect native and resident aquatic species and their habitat, and provide facilities and opportunities for recreational fishing. The areas outlined in this layer have fishing regulations. For details and further information, please see: http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dar/fishing/fishing-regulations/

State boundaries of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), delimiting the states of Yap, Chuuk, and Kosrae. These are approximated from the map image on Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_the_Federated_States_of_Micronesia_CIA.jpg

Orote Ecological Reserve Area, Guam

Political boundary lines for Palau.

This marine refuge consists of the coral reefs and bay waters surrounding Coconut Island (Moku o Loe) located in Kaneohe Bay on the east coast of Oahu in Hawaii. Except for scientific research conducted by the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) of the University of Hawaii, it is unlawful to take any aquatic life from within the boundaries of the refuge.

These boundaries represent the territorial sea for U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands, including Hawaii, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, as well as the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands of Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Atoll, Palmyra Atoll, and Wake Island. Territorial waters, or a territorial sea, as defined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, is a belt of coastal waters extending at most twelve nautical miles (12 nmi) from the baseline (usually the mean low-water mark) of a coastal state. The territorial sea is regarded as the sovereign territory of the state, although foreign ships are allowed innocent passage through it; this sovereignty also extends to the airspace over and seabed below.

This dataset represents a subset of the global distribution of warm water coral reefs for the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and should be seen as an "interim" product. It has been compiled from a number of data sources which have been merged together by UNEP-WCMC and the WorldFish Centre in collaboration with WRI and TNC. It supersedes the dataset used in the World Atlas of Coral Reefs (2001), although some aspects of this product still originate from that data source. This amalgamated dataset has been created to further mobilise the Millennium Coral Reef Map Products and their validation. This data set should by no means replace the official release of the Millennium coral reef map and users should always check at the official sites for the most up-to-date available information. This dataset does not contain the full 5 level geomorphological categorization. In part, for the validated products, it maintains the simplified Reefbase subset but for the remaining areas i.e. the unvalidated data and data from other sources, there is only a single class to indicate coral reef. When using these data, please cite the following: UNEP-WCMC, WorldFish Centre, WRI, TNC (2010).

The boundaries of the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa exclude these two channels at Swains Island to provide access to the island.
