Map Services

Core Services

Managed Areas

Contains data for the Allowable Golden Crab Fishery Areas, Shrimp Fishery Access Areas, Deepwater Coral HAPCs, SAFMC Restrictions, Marine Protected Areas, Danger Zones, and other Federal Marine Managed Areas.

Fisheries

Serves SEAMAP species data, MARMAP species data, MARMAP gear types, bathymetry, and boundaries for the continental shelf, US Federal State and US Territorial Seas

Essential Fish Habitat (EFH)

Displays Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) and Essential Fish Habitat-Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (EFH-HAPCs) for several species under SAFMC's jurisdiction.

Complementary Services

Habitats

Displays habitat data collected by SEADESC, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (HBOI) and Ocean Exploration dives, as well as the SEAMAP shallow and ESDIM deepwater bottom mapping projects, multibeam imagery, and scientific cruise data.

Nautical Charts

Displays coastal, general, and overview nautical charts for the SAFMC’s jurisdictional area. Although updated charts are available from NOAA's RNC map service, SAFMC has found the LORAN lines dipslayed on older charts helpful in public workshop forums.

Mulitbeam

Displays a variety of multibeam data sources and scanned bathymetry charts. Data sets from NOAA's Deep Sea Coral Missions, Southeast Fishery-Independent Survey (SEFIS), and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (HBOI) are included.

External Services

NOAA's Estuarine Bathymetry

Estuarine Bathymetry was developed by the Special Projects Office of the National Ocean Service (NOS) as part of a project to produce readily available bathymetry. Seventy of the approximately 130 estuaries within the conterminous U.S. are available from this site.

BOEM Wind Planning Areas

This data set represents the most recent changes for the Wind Development Planning Areas in the Atlantic.

DEM Hillshade

This is an image service providing a shaded relief visualization of bathymetric/topographic digital elevation models stewarded at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
