NOAA's Seasonal Management Area GIS data delineates shipping zones along the U.S. Atlantic seaboard where speed restrictions are implemented at certain times of the year. The regulations, established by 73 FR 60173 on October 10, 2008, aim to reduce deaths and serious injuries to endangered North Atlantic right whales from ship collisions. The sunset clause for these rules was removed on December 9, 2013.
File formats include ZIP, PDF, and HTML; the specific GIS format within the ZIP is unknown.
