Service Description: These are polygon locations of Mid-Atlantic artificial reefs. They were compiled from various sources, including digital data received from state agencies and lat/long coordinates of reef corners found on public web sites. These polygons represent general areas where artificial reef material has been placed; generally the entirety of the polygon is not all artificial reef.
Original 2019 data and metadata (this document) generated by The Nature Conservancy.
Data updated, February 2023, by the MARCO Portal
1) added a polygon area in Delaware Bay, named 'DE13' in the data;
2) modified the shape of the 'Wildwood' polygon off the Atlantic coast of southern New Jersey.
Both February 2023 edits used the NOAA Electronic Navigational Chart (ENCs) web services as the map source.
