Waters off the coast of California are split into five distinct groundfish management areas used in the regulation and management of groundfish fisheries. All fishing areas extend from the shoreline to 200 miles offshore. The latitudinal boundaries for each fishing area are as follows:Northern Management Area: The California-Oregon border to Cape Mendocino (40°10' N. latitude)Mendocino Management Area: Cape Mendocino (40°10' N. latitude) to Point Arena (38°57.5' N. latitude)San Francisco Management Area: Point Arena (38°57.5' N. latitude) to Pigeon Point (37°11' N. latitude)Central Management Area: Pigeon Point (37°11' N. latitude) to Point Conception (34°27' N. latitude)Southern Management Area: Point Conception (34°27' N. latitude) to the U.S.-Mexico borderAttributes:Region: Northern, Mendocino, San Francisco, Central, Southern.Detail: Latitudinal boundaries of management area.
This data depicts the latitudinal areas described in Title 50 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 660 Subpart G as the following groundfish Management Areas off the coast of California: Northern, Mendocino, San Francisco, Central, and Southern.
