    Marine Protected Areas Coordinates - R7 - CDFW [ds3207]

    Metadata Updated: July 24, 2025

    Coordinates were extracted from Section 632 of the California Code of Regulations Title 14. For the federal marine protected areas, coordinates were extracted from the applicable Code of Federal Regulations. All geographic coordinates in the subsection with full coordinate pairs (both latitude and longitude) are plotted at the regulatory waypoint, all geographic coordinates in the subsection that have only one coordinate (latitude or longitude) are plotted somewhere on the line in the vicinity of that boundary, all subsections that do not have coordinates included are plotted at the geographic centroid of the MPA feature. Coordinates for complimentary Federal/State MPAs were combined for visualization. Attributes: MPA_Name: Name of the Marine Protected Area. Type: Classification of the Marine Protected Area. Lat: Latitude of coordinate in decimal degrees. Long: Longitude of coordinate in decimal degrees. LatDDM: Latitude of coordinate in degree decimal minutes. LongDDM: Longitude of coordinate in degree decimal minutes. Notes: Additional information about the coordinate provided. Such as when a value is estimated or provided in regulations. Regulation: Section of California Code of Regulations that define the Marine Protected Area.
