Description: The reef fish management boundary measures 9 nautical miles seaward of the U.S. baseline, recognized as the low-water line along the coast as marked on NOAA's nautical charts in accordance with the articles of the Law of the Sea. The baseline and related maritime limits are reviewed and approved by the interagency U.S. Baseline Committee. The primary purpose of this dataset is to provide a boundary 9 nautical miles from the U.S. baseline, for management of reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico Federal waters.The reef fish boundary is ambulatory and subject to revision based on accretion or erosion of the charted low water line. The reef fish boundary will be updated as soon as possible as the U.S. baseline is updated.Coordinates for the US/Mexico international boundary, on land, are managed by the International Boundary Commission. These boundaries are included with this dataset for continuity. Public Law 114-113(2016) Sec. 110. (a) None of the funds made available by this Act or any other appropriations Act may be used by the Secretary of Commerce for management activities pursuant to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico or any amendment to such Plan unless such management is conducted beyond the seaward boundary of a coastal State as set out under subsection (b).(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the purpose of carrying out activities pursuant to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico or any amendment to such Plan, the seaward boundary of a coastal State in the Gulf of Mexico is a line 9 nautical miles seaward from the baseline from which the territorial sea of the United States is measured.
