Source URL - Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary - https://ca.dep.state.fl.us/arcgis/rest/services/Map_Direct/Program_Support/MapServer Source URL - Maritime Limits - http://research.myfwc.com File Geodatabase Feature Class 10.7.1 dataset The No-Discharge Zone must be within ‘State Waters’, which is defined as extending 9 Nautical Miles into the Gulf of Mexico and 3 Statute Miles into the Atlantic. The zone must also be in the FL Keys Nat’l Marine Sanctuary. Due to the nature of the source data, merging these layers required a conversion of the Sanctuary boundary to a linear feature. The merged output (linear) then had to be converted to polygon features to represent the NDZ. The NDZ at this stage, which is meant to solely cover water, contained land (islands and some mainland). The land features were erased from the NDZ feature in 2 steps. First, the Florida Keys, as represented by the ‘U.S. States’ layer, were erased from the NDZ feature. Since the Florida Keys are very generalized in the ‘U.S. States’ layer (only about 500 of the 1700+ FL Keys are represented), an additional erase step was performed using the islands depicted in the Sanctuary layer.* *FL Keys Nat’l Marine Sanctuary GIS layer represents water area, not land (islands). To use this data to erase land from the Final NDZ Layer, it was first processed to convert the holes in the data to features. This was done by creating a ‘box’ feature around the FKNMS, then erasing the FKNMS feature from it. Polygonal Sanctuary boundary converted to linear feature class Sanctuary boundary must be merged with Maritime Limits which are linear features. Cannot merge linear and polygonal features into a single feature class due to differering geometries. Seth Mann Woolpert GIS Analyst processor Erase land features from the merged polygon created in the first step. Use U.S. States layer as the erase layer No-Discharge Zone is meant to solely cover water. Seth Mann Woolpert GIS Analyst processor Erase land features from the merged polygon created in the first step. Use FL Keys Nat’l Marine Sanctuary GIS layer as the erase layer. No-Discharge Zone is meant to solely cover water. The first erase step does not capture many of the smaller islands. This step uses a feature class that contains a more comprehensive set of islands. Seth Mann Woolpert GIS Analyst processor Marine sanctuaries protect our nation's most important marine ecosystems, conserving the ocean and coasts for present and future generations. Marine sanctuaries strive to protect these ecosystems while balancing resource protection with commercial, recreational, cultural, scientific, and educational uses. Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary accomplishes this balance through a suite of strategies including regulations, marine zones, outreach efforts, and permitting programs. Date Published is unknown. In 1990, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary became the ninth sanctuary to join the sanctuary system. Credit: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

NOAAs Office of Coast Survey (OCS) is responsible for generating the 3 Nautical Mile Line, Territorial Sea, Contiguous Zone, and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Traditionally, these maritime limits have been generated by hand from the low water line depicted on paper, U.S. nautical charts. Upon final approval by the U.S. Baseline Committee, these legally-binding maritime limits are applied to the next edition of nautical charts produced by the Marine Chart Division of OCS.FWRI staff downloaded the available limits from NOAAs Web site: http://chartmaker.ncd.noaa.gov/csdl/mbound.htm . For other boundaries that were not available on NOAAs site, (Florida 9 mile Natural Resources line, Florida-Alabama State line, and Louisiana Inshore Territorial Sea boundary), FWRI staff heads up digitized these from Nautical Charts, DRGs, or obtained from other sources. Credit: NOAA provided much of the data and metadata. FWRI staff merged the data into a single shapefile and added boundaries that were not yet available on NOAAs web site.
