Description: The 2017 cartographic boundary shapefiles are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files.
States and equivalent entities are the primary governmental divisions of the United States. In addition to the fifty states, the Census Bureau treats the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and each of the Island Areas (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) as the statistical equivalents of states for the purpose of data presentation.
Description: Maritime limits for the United States are measured from 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 update the official depiction of these maritime limits and boundaries on NOAA's nautical charts. The Office of Coast Survey depicts on its nautical charts the territorial sea (12 nautical miles), contiguous zone (24nm), and exclusive economic zone (200nm, plus maritime boundaries with adjacent/opposite countries). U.S. maritime limits are ambulatory and subject to revision based on accretion or erosion of the charted low water line. To ensure you are up-to-date and for more information about U.S. Maritime Limits and Boundaries, see http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/csdl/mbound.htm.For the full FGDC metadata record, see http://www.ncddc.noaa.gov/approved_recs/nos_de/ocs/ocs/ocs/MB_ParentDataset.html.Coordinates for the US/Canada international boundary, on land and through the Great Lakes, are managed by the International Boundary Commission. These boundaries are included with this dataset for continuity.

Description: The MPA Inventory is a comprehensive catalog that provides detailed information for existing marine protected areas in the United States. The inventory provides geospatial boundary information (in polygon format) and classification attributes that seek to define the conservation objectives, protection level, governance and related management criteria for all sites in the database. The comprehensive inventory of federal, state and territorial MPA sites provides governments and stakeholders with access to information to make better decisions about the current and future use of place-based conservation. The information also will be used to inform the development of the national system of marine protected areas as required by Executive Order 13158.

Description: This data set contains OCS block outlines for the BOEM Pacific Region. OCS blocks are used to define small geographic areas within an Official Protraction Diagram (OPD) for leasing and administrative purposes. These blocks have been clipped along the Submerged Lands Act (SLA) boundary and along lines contained in the Continental Shelf Boundaries (CSB) GIS data files. Because GIS projection and topology functions can change or generalize coordinates, these GIS files are NOT an OFFICIAL record for the exact OCS block boundaries. Only the paper document or a digital image of it serve as OFFICIAL records.

Description: These data depict the occurrence of submarine cables in and around U.S. navigable waters. The purpose of this data product is to support coastal planning at the regional and national scale. Source geometry and attributes were derived from 2010 NOAA Electronic Navigation Charts and 2009 NOAA Raster Nautical Charts. Polyline features explicitly defined as cables were compiled from the original sources, exclusive of those features noted as 'cable areas'. The scale of the source material was highly variable and discontinuities between multiple sources were resolved with least possible spatial adjustments. The original S-57 data model was modified for readability and performance.

Description: Various shipping zones delineate activities and regulations for marine vessel traffic. Traffic lanes define specific traffic flow, while traffic separation zones assist opposing streams of marine traffic. Precautionary areas represent areas where ships must navigate with caution, and shipping safety fairways designate where artificial structures are prohibited. Recommended Routes are predetermined routes for shipping adopted for reasons of safety. Along certain zones of the East Coast of the United States, ships are required to reduce speeds to 10 knots or less over ground during seasonal periods within designated endangered species areas, such as the North Atlantic Right Whales. Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas need special protection because of their vulnerability to damage by international maritime activities. Areas to be avoided are within defined limits where navigation is particularly hazardous or it is exceptionally important to avoid casualties and should be avoided by all ships or certain classes of ships.

Description: This data package contains the draft outputs of habitat suitability models for deep-sea corals and sponges offshore California, Oregon, and Washington.
NCCOS obtained the April 5, 2018 version of the NOAA Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program national database of deep-sea corals and sponges and extracted presence locations of deep-sea corals and sponges offshore California, Oregon, and Washington and shallower than the 1200m depth contour. The project science team identified 44 taxa of deep-sea coral and sponges with sufficient presence locations to develop habitat suitability models.
For each taxon, the R package ‘maxnet’ was used to fit models of habitat suitability using the values of the environmental covariates at locations of deep-sea coral or sponge occurrence. A stepwise model selection procedure was performed to select a final model for each taxon that balanced model predictive performance with model complexity. The set of environmental covariates in the final model was used to fit models to ten bootstrap samples to generate spatially explicit predictions of the relative likelihood of habitat suitability. Outputs from these predictions include the mean prediction across the models fit to the ten bootstrap samples, the coefficient of variation across the predictions, a classified prediction created by reclassifying the mean prediction into classes of increasing likelihood of habitat suitability, and a “robust” very high likelihood prediction that indicates grid cells for which all the models fit to the bootstrap samples were classified as having a very high likelihood of containing suitable habitat.

NCCOS obtained the April 5, 2018 version of the NOAA Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program national database of deep-sea corals and sponges and extracted presence locations of deep-sea corals and sponges offshore California, Oregon, and Washington and shallower than the 1200m depth contour. The project science team identified 44 taxa of deep-sea coral and sponges with sufficient presence locations to develop habitat suitability models.
For each taxon, the R package ‘maxnet’ was used to fit models of habitat suitability using the values of the environmental covariates at locations of deep-sea coral or sponge occurrence. A stepwise model selection procedure was performed to select a final model for each taxon that balanced model predictive performance with model complexity. The set of environmental covariates in the final model was used to fit models to ten bootstrap samples to generate spatially explicit predictions of the relative likelihood of habitat suitability.

NCCOS obtained the April 5, 2018 version of the NOAA Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program national database of deep-sea corals and sponges and extracted presence locations of deep-sea corals and sponges offshore California, Oregon, and Washington and shallower than the 1200m depth contour. The project science team identified 44 taxa of deep-sea coral and sponges with sufficient presence locations to develop habitat suitability models.
For each taxon, the R package ‘maxnet’ was used to fit models of habitat suitability using the values of the environmental covariates at locations of deep-sea coral or sponge occurrence. A stepwise model selection procedure was performed to select a final model for each taxon that balanced model predictive performance with model complexity. The set of environmental covariates in the final model was used to fit models to ten bootstrap samples to generate spatially explicit predictions of the relative likelihood of habitat suitability. Outputs from these predictions include the mean prediction across the models fit to the ten bootstrap samples, the coefficient of variation across the predictions, a classified prediction created by reclassifying the mean prediction into classes of increasing likelihood of habitat suitability, and a “robust” very high likelihood prediction that indicates grid cells for which all the models fit to the bootstrap samples were classified as having a very high likelihood of containing suitable habitat.

NCCOS obtained the April 5, 2018 version of the NOAA Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program national database of deep-sea corals and sponges and extracted presence locations of deep-sea corals and sponges offshore California, Oregon, and Washington and shallower than the 1200m depth contour. The project science team identified 44 taxa of deep-sea coral and sponges with sufficient presence locations to develop habitat suitability models.
For each taxon, the R package ‘maxnet’ was used to fit models of habitat suitability using the values of the environmental covariates at locations of deep-sea coral or sponge occurrence. A stepwise model selection procedure was performed to select a final model for each taxon that balanced model predictive performance with model complexity. The set of environmental covariates in the final model was used to fit models to ten bootstrap samples to generate spatially explicit predictions of the relative likelihood of habitat suitability. Outputs from these predictions include the mean prediction across the models fit to the ten bootstrap samples, the coefficient of variation across the predictions, a classified prediction created by reclassifying the mean prediction into classes of increasing likelihood of habitat suitability, and a “robust” very high likelihood prediction that indicates grid cells for which all the models fit to the bootstrap samples were classified as having a very high likelihood of containing suitable habitat.

For each taxon, the R package ‘maxnet’ was used to fit models of habitat suitability using the values of the environmental covariates at locations of deep-sea coral or sponge occurrence. A stepwise model selection procedure was performed to select a final model for each taxon that balanced model predictive performance with model complexity. The set of environmental covariates in the final model was used to fit models to ten bootstrap samples to generate spatially explicit predictions of the relative likelihood of habitat suitability. Outputs from these predictions include the mean prediction across the models fit to the ten bootstrap samples, the coefficient of variation across the predictions, a classified prediction created by reclassifying the mean prediction into classes of increasing likelihood of habitat suitability, and a “robust” very high likelihood prediction that indicates grid cells for which all the models fit to the bootstrap samples were classified as having a very high likelihood of containing suitable habitat.

Outputs from these predictions include the mean prediction across the models fit to the ten bootstrap samples, the coefficient of variation across the predictions, a classified prediction created by reclassifying the mean prediction into classes of increasing likelihood of habitat suitability, and a “robust” very high likelihood prediction that indicates grid cells for which all the models fit to the bootstrap samples were classified as having a very high likelihood of containing suitable habitat.

Description: This data layer contains the draft output of the habitat suitability models for the taxon group Umbellula offshore California, Oregon, and Washington. Depicted is a classified prediction created by reclassifying the mean prediction into classes of increasing likelihood of habitat suitability.
NCCOS obtained the April 5, 2018 version of the NOAA Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program national database of deep-sea corals and sponges and extracted presence locations of deep-sea corals and sponges offshore California, Oregon, and Washington and shallower than the 1200m depth contour. The project science team identified 44 taxa of deep-sea coral and sponges with sufficient presence locations to develop habitat suitability models.
For each taxon, the R package ‘maxnet’ was used to fit models of habitat suitability using the values of the environmental covariates at locations of deep-sea coral or sponge occurrence. A stepwise model selection procedure was performed to select a final model for each taxon that balanced model predictive performance with model complexity.
