Listed in California Open Data
Large commercial fishing catch areas, often referred to as -commercial fishing (4-digit) blocks for the state of California.
Description
These blocks represent ten generalized catch areas which broadly describe latitudinal catch, from shore out to the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). These catch areas are reflected in reported landings data starting in 1983.
These areas overlap with higher resolution 10' x 10' commercial fishing (3-digit) blocks [ds3093] which have been in use since 1933. For more information see: Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. 1935. Fish Bulletin No. 44.
