| * » Abstract |
These data represent federal and state lightering zones within U.S. waters. Lightering is the transfer of a cargo of oil in bulk from one oil tanker less than 150 gross tons to another oil tanker less than 150 gross tons, or a cargo of hazardous material in bulk from one vessel to another. Lightering is often used to reduce vessel draft prior to entering a port. A lightering zone is an area were lightering is either designated, prohibited, has traditionally occurred, or where restrictions are in place to ensure or constrain lightering activities. |
| * Purpose |
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act. |
