    Metadata Updated: August 16, 2024

    2010-2017 Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) data were used from the NOAA Office of Law Enforcement to create this fishing effort dataset for the U.S. West Coast. The dataset was generated using VMS points at fishing speeds to create fishing tracks. Tracks were joined to the BOEM aliquot grid (1.2x1.2 km) to create heat maps of fishing effort for various fisheries based on individual and combined declaration codes.Click HERE for a full description of the methodology used to create these data.Click HERE for full metadata details.Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Aliquots are a subdivision of the offshore marine OCS Blocks and divided into 16 equal parts for Renewable Energy leasing purposes.  A metric OCS Aliquot is 1200 meters square containing 144.000000 hectares and is shown here with the aliquot letter.No warranty is made by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for the accuracy of this item.
