    • Limit of "8(g) Zone" - Gulf of Mexico Region

    Metadata Updated: September 17, 2024

    This data set contains Gulf of Mexico OCS Region scale Limit of "8(g) Zone" line. The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act "8(g) Zone" lies between the Submerged Lands Act (SLA) boundary line and a line projected 3 nautical miles seaward of the SLA boundary line. In the areas offshore Texas and Florida (gulf coast) the SLA boundary line is projected 9 nautical miles. Within this zone, oil and gas revenues are shared with the coastal state(s). The official version of the Limit of "8(g) Zone" can only be found on the BOEM Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) or Supplemental Official Protraction Diagrams.This data was created in the applicable NAD27 UTM/SPCS Projection and re-projected to NAD27 Geographic. Because GIS projection and topology functions can change or generalize coordinates, these GIS files are NOT an OFFICIAL record for the exact boundaries. These files are to be used for Cartographic purposes only.
