Displays the boundaries of anchorage zones and non-anchorage zones for the State of Hawaii as recorded on NOAA nautical charts. These are offshore areas outside of harbors where ships and boats can lie at anchor; many offer natural shelter from the effects of storms. Some anchorage zones have usage restrictions while others are prohibited entirely. These are indicated herein by polygon color. See also the associated "Anchorages - Hawaii" layer for related point locations.
