Description: This data represents the extent of Georgia's coastal zone, as defined by Georgia under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA). The Georgia Coastal Management Program was authorized by the Georgia General Assembly with the passage of the Georgia Coastal Management Act (O.C.G.A. 12-5-320 et. Seq.) In January of 1998 the Program was approved by NOAA and became the 32nd state to participate in the national Coastal Zone Management Program. 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.
Description: The National Waterway Network is a comprehensive network database of the nation's navigable waterways. The data set covers the 48 contiguous states plus the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and water links between. The nominal scale of the dataset varies with the source material. The majority of the information is at 1:100,000 with larger scales used in harbor/bay/port areas and smaller scales used in open waters.
Copyright Text: The National Waterway Network was created on behalf of the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Bureau of Census, and the U.S. Coast Guard by Vanderbilt University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Additional agencies with input into network development include Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, Maritime Administration, Military Traffic Management Command, Tennessee Valley Authority, U.S.Environmental Protection Agency, and the Federal Railroad Administration.

Description: This data set contains Continental Shelf Boundary (CSB) lines for the MMS Atlantic Region. The CSB defines the seaward limit of federally managed OCS lands.
Description: Aliquots are generated from full OCS blocks by sub-dividing each block into 16ths and allow for more detailed boundary delineation in offshore energy leasing. The aliquots use a letter designation in addition to their parent protraction number and OCS block number (ie. NK-1802, 6822F). A full OCS block is 4800 x 4800 meters, while an aliquot measures 1200 x 1200 meters. Smaller, clipped aliquots are found along the Fed/State OCS boundary and along UTM zone borders. This dataset includes columns indicating the presence or absence of a GCAMP layer. All GCAMP vector layers were intersected with the aliquots to produce a feature count per aliquot. If the feature contained a quantifiable measure (length, area, quanity, etc), either the sum or average was aggregated to the aliquout. GCAMP raster data was aggregated to the aliqouts using zonal statistics. Cell averages, sums, and mins and maximums were aggregated.

Description: This layer was created by intersecting the NCDC International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) historic hurricane data from 1848 - present with BOEM's leasing blocks to produce a track count per block.
