These data are intended for coastal and ocean use planning. Not for navigation.
This data represents the extent of the nation's coastal zone, as defined by the individual states and territories under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA). The CZMA was established to preserve, protect, develop, and where possible, to restore or enhance the resources of the nation's coastal zone. The coastal zone includes the coastal waters and adjacent shorelands strongly influenced by each other. 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. Excluded from the coastal zone are lands held in trust by the Federal Government. Federal lands have been included in this boundary, as accurately representing them could be erroneous. This boundary is non-regulatory. The data was developed to support coastal and ocean planning and other activities pursuant to the Energy Policy Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Rivers and Harbors Act and the Submerged Lands Act.For additional information, please refer to metadata at http://files.hawaii.gov/dbedt/op/gis/data/3_naut_mile_bndry.pdf or contact Hawaii Statewide GIS Program, Office of Planning, State of Hawaii; PO Box 2359, Honolulu, Hi. 96804; (808) 587-2846; email: gis@hawaii.gov; Website: http://planning.hawaii.gov/gis.

1. Perform online research to locate coastal zone data provided by each state. This requires contacting the CMP and/or GIS offices of individual states and territories to acquire geospatial data.
2. Project feature class/es for each state's data into NAD83.
3. Turn polyline boundaries into polygon boundaries. If polyline is not closed and/or does not have an offshore component, develop lines to extend and/or close the polyline, working with adjacent state's boundaries and the Submerged Lands Act boundary to derive this new boundary.
4. For states with multi-feature boundary (e.g. divided by counties), dissolve features to create a single feature boundary.
5. Merge all state coastal zone boundaries into one (multi-part) feature class. This will be referenced as "preliminary coastal zone" in subsequent steps.
6. Add components within Submerged Lands Act (SLA) boundary that are not captured in the preliminary coastal zone boundary (this includes areas offshore, along international boundaries, and where adjacent state's boundaries are not coincident). To perform this step…
a) create a polygon for the SLA boundary, using official sources;
b) clip the SLA polygon with the preliminary coastal zone boundary, then explode into multipart feature;
c) from the resulting clipped feature class (coastal zone boundary), perform a union (without gaps allowed) to create those "upland" areas that are contained (as islands) inside the boundary of the preliminary coastal zone - this is necessary to acquire gaps in the preliminary coastal zone that exist where state boundaries and intrastate county boundaries are not coincident;
d) from the resulting union feature class (coastal zone boundary), select features by location, where features are identical to those "upland islands" found in the clipped SLA boundary (step 6b), then export these as a new feature class;
e) from the same selection in step 6d, switch the selection (to select ONLY the offshore components from the SLA clip), then export these as a new feature class;
f) from this new feature class in step 6d ("upland islands"), begin an edit session and manually remove those upland areas that should not be part of the coastal zone, making sure to retain those polygons that represent where individual state's coastal zone boundaries were not coincident with adjacent state's coastal zone boundaries;
g) merge the two new feature classes from step 6e and 6f (upland islands and offshore components), then merge with the preliminary coastal zone from step 9.
7. Dissolve all features from step 6g into one feature
8. Clip the dissolved feature class with the SLA boundary from step 6a. NOTE: This will remove areas outside the SLA boundary (e.g. Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Pacific terirtories), which will need to be copied (from the feature class in step 6g) into the clipped feature class.
9. Fill any marine components not yet captured in the preliminary coastal zone (e.g. Chesapeake Bay)…following similar/same processes as in step 6 (this includes inshore/offshore waters for NY, NJ, DE, MD, NC, SC, FL).
10. Manually add any inland gaps in the national boundary that may not have been captured in the previous steps (e.g. areas in Maryland were noted).
11. Manually remove any unintended vertices, such as where adjacent state boundaries were not coincident but did not form data gaps/"islands" in the coastal zone (e.g. MD/VA border on DELMARVA Peninsula, or MI/IL boundary in Lake Michigan).
12. Areas outside BOEM's established SLA boundary (for CONUS only) were addressed on an individual basis.
13. For USVI, the boundary had to be established with a supplementary shoreline so that a 3nm buffer could be performed on the coastal zone boundary provided by USVI.
