The purpose of this data is to visually represent the seasonal and/or area closures for GIS analysis and display. This does
not necessarily reflect the latest information contained in the Code of Federal Regulations. Users must assume responsibility
to determine the appropriate use of this data as the currency and/or accuracy of this data cannot be guaranteed.

Access Constraints: None | Use Constraints: NOT FOR LEGAL USE. Users be advised that the accuracy of this dataset is somewhat
dependent upon the accuracy of the state/federal marine boundary and EEZ data if it was used in the data creation process.
For more details on this process, see the process description. The current text description from Title 50 Part 622, Fisheries
of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic, is always the one, true definition of the seasonal and/or area closures.

description Points were entered in a table from geographic locations in Title 50 CFR Part 622, and a point GIS layer was created.
Processing Step
date and time 2014-06-26T00:00:00
description Created polygons of the closed areas using ESRI software from the points generated in the previous process step. If the closed
area shared a border with the EEZ, or state/federal marine boundary, the EEZ or state water shapefile was combined with the
geographic area described in Title 50 CFR Part 622 to complete polygon.
evaluation Method Description
No tests for logical consistency were performed on this data. The data was visually inspected to confirm that: it contains
the requisite points and boundaries from the CFR text description; and the inside and outside of the polygons are where they
should be.
Use Constraints: Disclaimer - While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within
the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions
in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system. NOAA makes no warranty, expressed
or implied, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty.
