- Description:
- These data delineate Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCA) off the West Coast of the United States for 2015. There are three types of areas closures depicted in this layer: Commercial Trawl Non-Groundfish, Commercial Trawl Groundfish, and Commercial Non-Trawl Groundfish. These areas represent closures to commercial fishing for non-groundfish with trawl gear, closed to commercial fishing for groundfish with trawl gear, or areas are closed to commercial fishing for groundfish with non-trawl gear, respectively. Closures may vary seasonally. Boundaries are lines that connect a series of coordinates that approximate particular depth contours. North/south boundaries are designated by specific lines of latitude. Keep in mind that Rockfish Management Areas are fairly dynamic and may change as often as 5 times per year. See the Source Info link for the latest information.These data were developed to support the mission of the West Coast Ocean Data Network. Expected uses for these data are for regional resource management, impact assessment, policy development, and ocean planning. The data are not legal boundaries and should not be used to determine if fishing for specific species and/or with specific gear is allowed at a certain location.
