The data should be used as reference material to determine if a project falls within a specific 10-minute square boundary. The information for the square descriptions was taken from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coast Survey nautical charts. If questions arise in regards to a location, please refer to the nautical charts or any reference map. Also, when in doubt concerning whether a project is divided by a square boundary, please refer to a map or chart. - For the offshore squares, the information is based primarily on the offshore trawl survey data that was used to support the Councils' EFH designations. - For squares located within major estuaries and bays, the EFH designations are based on Estuarine Living Marine Resources data along with some trawl survey data. - For detailed species lists for the major estuaries, select from the estuaries list instead of the 10 minute square. - For questions about the data, please email David Stevenson david.stevenson@noaa.gov. <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This grid provides 10' x 10' squares of latitude and longitude for a given geographic area within the Greater Atlantic region.
