Rockfish Conservation Area Waypoints - R7 - CDFW [ds3145]
Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCAs) are closed areas for west coast groundfish fisheries and for some fisheries that may incidentally take groundfish as bycatch. The RCA boundary line is a connection of a series of GPS coordinates published in federal regulations (See 50 CFR 660.71-660.74) that are intended to approximate underwater depth contours. RCA boundaries are used in groundfish regulations to avoid interactions with certain groundfish species of concern and may change between seasons and Recreational Fishing Management Areas. Attributes: area_name: Unique name field identifying depth and location of waypoint. Fathom: Approximate depth in fathoms of waypoint. Region: Describes which of the five groundfish management zones the waypoint is in. lat_DDM: Latitude in Decimal Degrees Minutes format. lon_DDM: Longitude in Decimal Degrees Minutes format. lat_DD: Latitude in Decimal Degrees format. lon_DD: Longitude in Decimal Degrees format.
