March 16, 2015 — The following was released by NOAA:
NOAA Fisheries announces the publication of 49 new GIS (Geographic Information Systems) shapefiles on the Greater Atlantic Region's GIS website. This is the third phase of our publication of GIS files, which started last May.
The new files depict 139 regulated areas defined under the Northeast Multispecies (groundfish), Monkfish, and Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plans.
This completes the publication of GIS shapefiles for all 290 regulated areas managed by the Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office.
We will continue to add new shapefiles and geospatial data to our GIS website as they become available.
