Layer: Lobster Management Areas (ID: 63)

Parent Layer: Lobster

Name: Lobster Management Areas

Display Field: AREANAME

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: This layer shows the management areas for the American Lobster fishery, which extends from Maine to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. There are seven Lobster Conservation Management Areas, which are labeled as Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, Area 4, Area 5, Area 6, and Outer Cape Cod Area. A permit holder had to demonstrate trap fishing history in a particular area to hold a permit and continue fishing with traps in that area. Lobster does not require VMS, and the management areas are included for lobster bycatch rules. The American lobster resource and fishery are cooperatively managed by the states and the National Marine Fisheries Service under the framework of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. 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.
