Layer: crab closure area (ID: 3)

Name: crab closure area

Display Field: Area_Name

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: These data delineate state and federally managed ocean areas off the West Coast of the United States that are closed or restricted to commercial or recreational fishing for fish and invertebrates as of September 2021. These areas include Marine Protected Areas, Marine Reserves, Essential Fish Habitat Conservation Areas, and other types of Conservation Areas. Closures/restrictions may be year-round or seasonal. The data do not include all spatially-explicit fishing regulations. The focus of these data is on fishing closures and restrictions that generally persist through time, and do not include many fishing management measures that are used to open and close areas dynamically to manage species, harvests, and seasons. Some areas where access is prohibited or restricted are included because these act as "de-facto" closures or restrictions to fishing. A few closures are presented in companion data sets because they have a more complex seasonal component, may change frequently, and/or cover large areas that are simpler to visualize independently. These companion data sets include: "West Coast Commercial Groundfish Trawl Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCA), 2021," "West Coast Commercial Non-Groundfish Trawl Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCA), 2021," "West Coast Commercial Groundfish Non-Trawl Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCA), 2021," and "West Coast Drift Gillnet Protected Resource Closure Areas, 2021."
