Service Description: These data depict waypoints for Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCA) off the coast of California and are described in Title 50 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 660 Subpart C where waypoints at the 30 fm (55 m) through 150 fm (273 m) depth contours can be found at § 660.71 through § 660.73. The source of this feature is CSV files (version date 11/20/2023) downloaded from NOAA''s West Coast Groundfish Closed Areas website https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/west-coast/sustainable-fisheries/west-coast-groundfish-closed-areas. This feature includes the 30, 40, 50, 100, and 150 fathom waypoints offshore of California and are grouped by Management Area.

Description: Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCAs) are closed areas for west coast groundfish fisheries and for some fisheries that may incidentally take groundfish as bycatch. The RCA boundary line is a connection of a series of GPS coordinates published in federal regulations (See 50 CFR 660.71-660.74) that are intended to approximate underwater depth contours. RCA boundaries are used in groundfish regulations to avoid interactions with certain groundfish species of concern and may change between seasons and Recreational Fishing Management Areas.
