Danger Zones and Restricted Areas

These data represent the location of danger zones and restricted areas within coastal and marine waters, as outlined by the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the [raster navigational charts] (RNC). The CFR defines a danger zone as, “A defined water area (or areas) used for target practice, bombing, rocket firing, or other especially hazardous operations, normally for the armed forces. The danger zones may be closed to the public on a full-time or intermittent basis, as stated in the regulations.” The CFR defines a restricted area as, “A defined water area for the purpose of prohibiting or limiting public access to the area. Restricted areas generally provide security for government property or protection to the public from the risks of damage or injury arising from the government’s use of that area.” Other features in this data set include Danger Area, Missile Testing Area, Naval Operations Area, Prohibited Area, Restricted Airspace, Test Area, and Torpedo Testing Area. Authoritative information relating to these data may be found in [Title 33, Part 334]. [Direct data download] | [Metadata] This item is curated by the Marine Cadastre team.

Current Magnitude and Direction

These current speed (meters per second) and direction (radian degrees true) data represent the annual average at the surface and were derived from the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) + Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation (NCODA) Global 1/12° Reanalysis experiments. Current speed and direction were derived from the original U (zonal velocity) and V (meridional velocity) vectors from HYCOM. One meter per second is equivalent to approximately 2.25 miles per hour.

Coral Protection Areas

These data depict zones for the protection of deep-sea coral from physical damage by fishing gear. Commercial fishermen are prohibited from using bottom-tending gear such as otter trawls, beam trawls, hydraulic dredges, non-hydraulic dredges, seines, longlines, pots and traps, and sink or anchored gillnets within these zones. Additional coral protection areas may also be defined as part of an area of particular concern within an essential fish habitat.

Coastal Zone Management Act

These data represent the extent of the nation’s coastal zone, as defined by the individual states and territories under the [Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA)]. The CZMA was established to preserve, protect, develop, and where possible, to restore or enhance the resources of the nation’s coastal zone. The zone generally extends seaward to the boundary of the Submerged Lands Act. The zone extends inland from the shorelines only to the extent necessary to control shorelands that have a direct and significant impact on coastal waters. Lands held in trust by the federal government have been included in this boundary unless otherwise noted, as accurately representing these could be erroneous. State jurisdiction extends to 3 nautical miles, except for Texas, Puerto Rico, and Florida’s Gulf coast, where it extends to 9 nautical miles. Great Lakes states have jurisdiction to the international boundary with Canada. CZMA applies in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone through federal consistency. This boundary is unofficial. For precise regulatory boundaries, please contact the state or territorial coastal program office. [Direct data download] | [Metadata] This item is curated by the Marine Cadastre team.

Artificial Reefs

Artificial reefs provide new or enhanced hardbottom habitat to areas that may or may not be habitat limited. Artificial habitat provides space that is quickly colonized by sessile organisms and provides new food sources, greater protection of juveniles by providing more space to be used as refuge, and a possible focal point for aggregating adults to spawn. These data were obtained using a variety of methods, including downloading data from state websites, getting data directly from state and NOAA contacts, and conducting internet research.

Aquaculture

These data show the location of aquaculture operations within coastal and offshore waters of the United States. Aquaculture types may include aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and aquatic plants. The presence and location of aquaculture operations were derived from multiple state websites and include only those in coastal and marine saltwater areas. The states of Maryland, Delaware, Louisiana, and Mississippi are not included in this data set, but are available individually in the Data Registry.

Aids to Navigation

This data set identifies [aids to navigation], or ATONs, such as lights, signals, buoys, and day beacons, that are intended to assist a navigator to determine position or safe course, or to warn of dangers or obstructions to navigation. The U.S. Coast Guard is responsible for ensuring that this network is up to date and functioning properly so recreational and commercial boaters can safely navigate the maritime environment.

Seafloor Dissolved Oxygen (ml/l)

Retirement Notice: This item is in [mature support] as of December 2025 and will be retired in December 2027. A [new version of this item] is available for your use. Esri recommends updating your maps and apps to use the new version. The concentration of dissolved gases in water is of prime importance in considering the quality of water. Sufficient amounts of dissolved oxygen are required for marine-life survival. Dissolved oxygen levels are influenced by temperature and salinity.The ability for oxygen to dissolve in water (solubility) decreases as temperature and salinity increase. Poorly oxygenated areas, or those with a dissolved oxygen level below 1, are considered [dead zones or hypoxic zones]. Dissolved oxygen is carried to the deep-sea floor by the descending surface waters.

North America Marine Ecoregions 2008

This data set shows [North American marine ecoregions]. Marine ecoregions are areas which fall within the Exclusive Economic Zones of the North American countries, and which have general similarity in terms of physiographic, oceanographic, and biological characteristics. These marine ecoregions are constructed as a spatial framework with three nested levels. The data are intended to be scalable: appropriate for perspectives and interests varying from regional to continental in scope; ecosystem-oriented: based on a range of connected biological, oceanographic, and physiographic characteristics; and linked: related to other marine and terrestrial data sets, classification systems, and disciplines. [The 24 Level I marine ecoregions] capture ecosystem differences at the most general scale by grouping together large water masses and currents, enclosed seas, and regions of coherent sea surface temperature or ice cover. The 86 Level II marine ecoregions capture the break between near-shore and oceanic areas, with the boundaries determined by large-scale features such as the continental shelf, continental slope, major trenches, and other features. Level II reflects the importance of depth as well as the importance of major physiographic features in determining current flows and upwelling. The 86 Level III marine ecoregions capture differences within the near-shore area and are based on local characteristics of the water mass, regional physiographic features, and biological community types. Level III ecoregions are defined only for the continental shelf, because this is the only ocean area for which sufficient information is available for finer-scale delineation. The seaward boundaries of the marine ecoregions, as mapped, are approximate and do not represent the actual seaward boundaries of the ecoregions or an exact boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zones of the three countries.

GEBCO Difference from 2019 to 2020 (No Zeros) Absolute Value

GEBCO’s gridded bathymetric data sets are global terrain models for ocean and land. This map shows the areas where changes in elevation/depth has occurred between GEBCO Gridded products. Change values are represented in meters. This particular layer shows the absolute value of the difference (in meters) between GEBCO 2019 and GEBCO 2020 gridded data products. The equation used to compute change is abs(GEBCO 2020 - GEBCO 2019). Then a reclass is applied to reclassify all pixels that are equal to zero as "No Data", helping further emphasize the locations where change has occurred. GEBCO aims to provide the most authoritative, publicly available bathymetry data sets for the world’s oceans.
