  18. Title: Water Trails, Northeast United States, 2014

    Contributors:

    Summary: This dataset shows coastal water trails in the northeast United States. A water trail is an officially designated water route, or blueway, that is maintained by an agency or association. Water trails are typically used recreationally by paddlers in non-motorized boats such as kayaks or canoes. Water trails are deemed coastal if they are located within or have an endpoint in a saline water body. Information on water trails was obtained from a number of different sources which manage individual trails or which aggregate information about multiple trails in one virtual location. Source data included online web maps, static maps in PDF format, textual descriptions, and direct conversations with sponsoring agencies. This dataset is meant to depict the distribution and general locations of water trails throughout the region. It does not contain any information regarding tides, navigation, safety, navigable route within the trail, or difficulty level. 2. PURPOSE This dataset is meant to support coastal and ocean planning and is not meant for recreational trip planning. It is recommended that persons interested in paddling any of these water trails are recommended to consult the source agencies. Applied Science Associates. (2014).

  19. Title: No Discharge Zones, Northeast United States, 2011-2014

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile represents No Discharge Zones in the Northeastern United States. A No Discharge Zone (NDZ) is a designated boundary within which the discharge of treated and untreated sewage from vessels is prohibited. There are a number of harmful pollutants found in sewage discharges that negatively impact both aquatic and human health. Pump-out facilities are located within the boundaries of NDZs to facilitate the elimination of sewage from vessels, or sewage must be retained onboard for disposal beyond three miles from shore. The No Discharge Zone boundaries are based on information within the Federal Register and were produced by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for Regions 1 and 2. Zone boundaries in Region 1 were also coordinated with the Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management. This dataset displays NDZs in EPA Region 1 and Region 2, which are current as of 2014 and 2011, respectively. Data from both regions were merged into one dataset and boundaries between different zone features were harmonized to eliminate boundary discrepancies. NDZs within the Hudson River, New York State Canal System, Lake Champlain, Lake George, and south of New York Harbor were not included. This dataset was updated in 2014 to include all waters under Massachusetts state jurisdiction. Three NDZs were added in Massachusetts including ferry corridors in the Vineyard Sound and Nantucket Sound and a zone extending from Manchester-By-The-Sea to Marshfield. Additionally, the Long Island Sound NDZ in New York State was updated from a proposed status to a final status. 2.

  20. Title: Pilot Boarding Areas, Northeast United States, 2009-2013

    Contributors:

    Summary: Pilot boarding areas are locations at sea where pilots familiar with local waters board incoming vessels to navigate their passage to a destination port. Pilotage is compulsory for foreign vessels and U.S. vessels under register in foreign trade with specific draft characteristics. Pilot boarding areas are represented by a 0.5 nautical mile radius around a coordinate point unless the Coast Pilot specifically designates a different radius or boarding area boundary. This dataset does not contain information regarding the hazards and considerations necessary to approach each port. The primary source material is the United States Coast Pilot. Additional information was derived from the Office of Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management’s pilot boarding area dataset, which consists of information acquired from pilot associations in 2009. Northeast Ocean Data plans to engage with pilot associations in 2014 to confirm the location and boarding area sizes in order to finalize the dataset. This datasets is intended to support region-scale ocean planning activities. Applied Science Associates. (2014). Pilot Boarding Areas, Northeast United States, 2009-2013. Northeast Ocean Data.
