Parent Layer: Surfclam/Ocean Quahog

Name: Environmental Degradation Closures

Display Field: AREANAME

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: This layer depicts the boundaries of the Atlantic Surf Clam and Ocean Quahog Environmental Degradation Closures for the NOAA Fisheries Service’s Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office (GARFO). It includes five regulated areas which are off limits to surf clams and ocean quahogs due to the presence of harmful contaminants. The Georges Bank Closure was implemented in 1990 at the recommendation of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after clams were found with high levels of the toxin that causes Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP). However in 2012, NMFS opened a portion of the Georges Bank Closure east of Cape Cod after ongoing testing demonstrated the shellfish are safe for human consumption. Other closures in this layer depict waste disposal sites for metropolitan areas. This dataset is from NMFS and represents areas and regulations mandated in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This layer does not represent a legal definition of the Regulated Area. The description published in the CFR is the only legal definition.
