NOAA Marine Protected Areas for Hawaii and vicinity, 2024 version. Downloaded from ArcGIS Online (https://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=eb2b36aecb004f14ac29cf0260624291#overview) by Hawaii Statewide GIS staff, Mar 14, 2025. Projected to Hawaii Statewide GIS standard projection (Nad 83 UTM Zone 4, HARN) and clipped to Hawaii and the Pacific. The MPA Inventory is a comprehensive catalog that provides detailed information for existing marine protected areas in the United States. The inventory provides geospatial boundary information (in polygon format) and classification attributes that seek to define the conservation objectives, protection level, governance and related management criteria for all sites in the database. The comprehensive inventory of federal, state and territorial MPA sites provides governments and stakeholders with access to information to make better decisions about the current and future use of place-based conservation. The information also will be used to inform the development of the national system of marine protected areas as required by Executive Order 13158.
