The inventory provides geospatial boundary information (in polygon format) and classification attributes that seek to define the conservation objectives, protection level, governance and related management criteria for all sites in the database. The comprehensive inventory of federal, state and territorial MPA sites provides governments and stakeholders with access to information to make better decisions about the current and future use of place-based conservation. The information also will be used to inform the development of the national system of marine protected areas as required by Executive Order 13158. purpose: The inventory represents a collection of data compiled from various federal, state, tribal and territorial entities to provide a publicly available source of comprehensive information on place-based marine conservation efforts under U.S. federal, state, territorial, local, and tribal jurisdiction. credit: NOAA Marine Protected Areas Center in joint effort with the US Department of the Interior status: (MD_ProgressCode) completed pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) positionName: MPA Data Manager contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: 831-647-6462 facsimile: 831-647-1732 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 99 Pacific Street city: Monterey administrativeArea: CA postalCode: 93940 country: (missing) electronicMailAddress: mpainventory@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) positionName: MPA Data Manager contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: 831-647-6462 facsimile: 831-647-1732 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 99 Pacific Street city: Monterey administrativeArea: CA postalCode: 93940 country: (missing) electronicMailAddress: mpainventory@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) custodian resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) annually descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: NGDA keyword: National Geospatial Data Asset keyword: Water Oceans and Coasts Theme type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: NGDA Portfolio Themes date: (missing) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Marine Boundaries type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: NOS Data Explorer Topic Category date: (missing) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Marine Conservation Areas keyword: Marine Protected Areas keyword: Ocean Conservation type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: North America keyword: United States type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) place descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: DOC/NOAA/NOS/NMS > National Marine Sanctuaries, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) dataCentre thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords date: (CI_Date) date: 2017-04-24 dateType: (CI_DateTypeCode) publication edition: 8.5 citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords name: GCMD Keyword Forum Page description: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2024.

Only the sub-tidal components of the areas meet the definition of an MPA. Version Notes: 2014: Added California Coastal Marine National Monument (Pt. Arena-Stornetta Unit) and revised boundaries and zones for Rose Atoll, Marianas Trench and Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monuments. Updated Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary to reflect boundary expansion. Updated boundaries data for Alaska state fishery MPAs, West Hawaii Fishery Management Area, and National Estuarine Research Reserves. Added NMFS Arctic Management Area and Pelagic Sargassum Habitat Restricted Area. Removed Florida Surface Water Improvement and Management sites. 2013: Added new MPA boundaries for California South Coast MLPA region, Oregon Marine Reserves. Updated Maryland Oyster Sanctuaries, National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa boundaries. 2012: This version contains boundary updates during the 2011 calendar year. Boundaries were added for new MPAs created in California. Boundaries were updated for National Park Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, Washington, Virgin Islands and Wisconsin sites in the MPA Inventory. 2011: This version contains boundary updates during the 2010 calendar year. Boundaries were added for new MPAs created in California. Boundaries for Hawaii, American Samoa, Florida and National Marine Fisheries Service MPAs were added for sites already in the MPA Inventory. All National Park Service and National Estuarine Research Reserve and some National Wildlife Refuge boundaries were updated with original data. 2010: This version contains boundaries for all sites from authoritative sources as updated between 6/2009-12/2009. New data have been added for multiple states and territories, including Alaska, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, US Virgin Islands and Wisconsin. Numerous shipwreck sites represented as latitude/longitude coordinate points were converted to polygons using a 300-meter radius buffer. NMFS sites have been verified against US Code of Federal Regulations. return to top contentInfo: (MD_FeatureCatalogueDescription) complianceCode: false language: LanguageCode: eng includedWithDataset: false featureCatalogueCitation: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/41965 (CI_Citation) title: MPA Inventory Attributes date: (CI_Date) date: 2017-04-10 dateType: (CI_DateTypeCode) publication return to top distributionInfo: (MD_Distribution) distributionFormat: (MD_Format) name: ESRI File Geodatabase version: 10.2 distributionFormat: (MD_Format) name: Shapefile version: 10.0 distributionFormat: (MD_Format) name: ESRI REST Service version: 10.22 distributor: (MD_Distributor) distributorContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) positionName: MPA Data Manager contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: 831-647-6462 facsimile: 831-647-1732 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 99 Pacific Street city: Monterey administrativeArea: CA postalCode: 93940 country: (missing) electronicMailAddress: mpainventory@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) distributor transferOptions: (MD_DigitalTransferOptions) transferSize: Real: 73.8 onLine: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://marineprotectedareas.noaa.gov/pdf/helpful-resources/inventory/mpa_inventory_2014_public_gdb.zip protocol: WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link name: https://marineprotectedareas.noaa.gov/pdf/helpful-resources/inventory/mpa_inventory_2014_public_gdb.zip description: Downloadable Data function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) download transferOptions: (MD_DigitalTransferOptions) onLine: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://marineprotectedareas.noaa.gov/pdf/helpful-resources/inventory/mpa_inventory_2014_public_shp.zip protocol: WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link name: https://marineprotectedareas.noaa.gov/pdf/helpful-resources/inventory/mpa_inventory_2014_public_shp.zip description: Downloadable Data function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) download transferOptions: (MD_DigitalTransferOptions) onLine: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://idpgis.ncep.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/NOAA protocol: WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link name: https://idpgis.ncep.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/NOAA description: Downloadable Data function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) download return to top dataQualityInfo: (DQ_DataQuality) scope: (DQ_Scope) level: (MD_ScopeCode) dataset report: (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy) nameOfMeasure: Horizontal Positional Accuracy evaluationMethodDescription: Data were collected using methods that have unknown accuracy result: (missing) report: (DQ_CompletenessCommission) nameOfMeasure: Completeness Report evaluationMethodDescription: This version of the MPA Inventory contains geospatial boundaries for 1,623 of the 1,774 identified marine protected areas, and is considered complete as of Oct 2014.
