Description: These data represent the results of an assessment conducted by the Department of Defense to catagorize Outer Continital Shelf lease blocks according to their potential compatability with offshore wind development and DoD activities. This data set contains OCS block outlines in ArcGIS shape file format for the BOEMRE Atlantic Region. OCS blocks are used to define small geographic areas within an Official Protraction Diagram (OPD) for leasing and administrative purposes. These blocks have been clipped along the Submerged Lands Act (SLA) boundary and along the Continental Shelf Boundaries. Additional details are available from: http://www.boemre.gov/itd/pubs/1999/99-0006.PDF. Because GIS projection and topology functions can change or generalize coordinates, and because shapefiles can not represent true arcs, these GIS files are considered to be approximate and are NOT an OFFICIAL record for the exact block coordinates or areas. The Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) and Supplemental Official Block Diagrams (SOBDs) serve as the legal definition for BOEMRE offshore boundary coordinates and area descriptions. These block polygons and other cadastre information the BOEMRE produces are generated in accordance with 30 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 256.8 to support Federal land ownership and mineral resource management.
