Created as part of a 2012 BOEM study on OCS renewable energy space-use conflicts, this data contains the commercial and recreational fishing locations off the Pacific coast of Washington, Oregon and California. The purpose of the study was to begin to identify potential space-use conflicts between OCS renewable energy development and other uses of the ocean environment and recommend measures that BOEM can implement in order to promote avoidance or mitigation of such conflicts, thereby facilitating responsible and efficient development of OCS renewable energy resources. The ethnographic data was created by engaging individuals and small groups in one on one guided discussions, and making handwritten shapes on paper maps to depict fishing locations. These commercial and recreational fishing locations have since been condensed into a single layer.

MarineCadastre.gov map service hosted for BOEM. Layers in this service are temporarily being hosted in for BOEM until the layers are hosted through their server found here: http://gis.boemre.gov/arcgis/rest/services/BOEM_BSEE/MMC_Layers/MapServer/ or within the National Geoplatform. Please refer to the services links found in MarineCadastre.gov Data Registry for the most recent web service links for the layers found within this service. This map service presents spatial information for Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning. The service is maintained by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management (OCM), in partnership with Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). More information about this product can be found at www.MarineCadastre.gov. This map service presents spatial information about MarineCadastre.gov services across the United States and Territories in the Web Mercator projection. The service was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), but may contain data and information from a variety of data sources, including non-NOAA data. NOAA provides the information “as-is” and shall incur no responsibility or liability as to the completeness or accuracy of this information. NOAA assumes no responsibility arising from the use of this information. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management will make every effort to provide continual access to this service but it may need to be taken down during routine IT maintenance or in case of an emergency.
