Includes transit, mooring or anchoring by motorized vessels for commercial or recreational purposes, and personal watercraft (PWC). Excludes fishing, wildlife viewing at sea, cruise ships, shipping, and sailing.
The general use footprint includes all areas in which the use is known to occur with some regularity (over the past 3-5 years), regardless of its frequency or intensity.
Dominant use areas are defined as ocean areas routinely used by most users most of the time (within the seasonal patterns for that use). |
