This GIS data delineates the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation & Management Act (MSA) for the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico marine waters. The MSA is the primary law governing marine fisheries management in the United States federal waters. The Act created regional fishery management councils to manage fisheries and promote conservation. The MSA geographic area extends from the state/federal water boundary to the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) outer boundary. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) uses these boundaries to create the geographic regulatory boundaries in federal waters. The Fishery Management Council Boundaries are included in this dataset, and bisect the MSA. These digital boundaries do NOT represent the legal depiction of the maritime boundaries.
The federal MSA/FMC waters polygon dataset was compiled by NOAA/NMFS from official limits provided by NOAA/NMFS and NOAA/NOS and BOEM. The Fishery Management Council (FMC) boundaries are taken directly from 50 CFR 600.105. NOS depicts the 200nm EEZ on its nautical charts. The EEZ was downloaded from http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/csdl/mbount.htm. BOEM depicts the Submerged Lands Act federal/state boundary on its official protraction diagrams (OPDs). The SLA was downloaded from http://www.boem.gov/Oil-and-Gas-Energy-Program/Mapping-and-Data/Index.aspx. The SLA boundary defines the seaward limit of a state's submerged lands and the landward boundary of federally managed Outer Continental Shelf lands. In the BOEM Atlantic Region it is projected 3 nautical miles offshore from the baseline. Further information on the SLA and development of this line from baseline points can be found in OCS Report MMS 99-0006: Boundary Development on the Outer Continental Shelf www.boem.gov/BOEM-Newsroom/Library/Publications/1999/99-0006-pdf.aspx.
Both agencies provide access to digital boundaries at their respective websites. NOS' digital limits covering this area of interest were reviewed and approved by the interagency U.S. Baseline Committee over several meetings in 2004-2005. The EEZ was reviewed and approved on October 5, 2006. BOEM's protraction diagrams were approved in 1999. Although these datasets can be downloaded at the 3rd party Multipurpose Marine Cadastre (MMC) website: http://marinecadastre.gov/data/, this website is not maintained for currentness, and data taken directly from NOS/OCS and BOEM will be more up-to-date/authoritative.

This dataset is complete. Maritime limits are ambulatory; therefore, the limits may be updated at a later date if the charted depictions of the farthest seaward low-water mark changes. In addition, the maritime boundaries portion of this dataset may be updated if a new maritime boundary agreement is established or revised. Lastly, the SLA boundary for all states except Florida has been set by the US Supreme Court. The Florida boundary in this dataset, will be updated. Because GIS projection and topology functions can change or generalize coordinates, these GIS files are considered to be approximate, and are NOT an OFFICIAL record for the exact Submerged Lands Act Boundary. The Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) and Supplemental Official Block Diagrams (SOBDs) serve as the legal definition for offshore boundary coordinates and area descriptions.

Data from NOS and BOEM were combined to create the MSA federal waters area: the inner or shoreward boundary (state/federal marine boundary) and outer EEZ for the U.S. east coast and the Gulf of Mexico. Outer EEZ: the EEZ was downloaded from http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/csdl/mbount.htm. The limits are determined from the official U.S. Baseline, recognized as the low-water line along the coast as marked on the official U.S. nautical charts in accordance with the articles of the Law of the Sea. State/federal marine boundary (SLA): the SLA was downloaded from http://www.boem.gov/Oil-and-Gas-Energy-Program/Mapping-and-Data/Index.aspx. The boundary appears on BOEM's official protraction diagrams. The SLA boundary defines the seaward limit of a state's submerged lands and the landward boundary of federally managed Outer Continental Shelf lands. In the BOEM Atlantic Region it is projected 3 nautical miles offshore from the baseline. The FMC boundaries were obtained from 50 CFR 600.105.
Step 1: Outer EEZ GIS shapefiles for the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean (Source: NOS), and SLA GIS ArcInfo .e00 coverage export files (Source: BOEM SLA and Protraction Diagrams) were merged to create a single polygon for the eastern United States (Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico). This is considered the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA) area, which in effect is the federal waters used for National Marine Fisheries Service regulatory boundaries. The SLA line was discontinuous in the southwest Florida area, where the outer boundary of Protraction Diagrams were clipped and supplemented the SLA to create a continuous boundary. The lines were cleaned, and a polygon was created for the entire MSA area.

Step 2: After the MSA was created, the descriptions from 50 CFR 600.105 were used to create the points/bearings and lines for each FMC. Those lines were used to 'cut polygon' when editing the MSA layer to ceate the MSA for the eastern US and Gulf of Mexico, with FMC divisions.
