WFSPacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) WFSData from the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaii. PacIOOS is one of eleven regional observing programs in the U.S. supporting the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). The PacIOOS region includes the U.S. Pacific Region (Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands), the Pacific nations in Free Association with the U.S. (Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau), and the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands (Howland, Baker, Johnston, Jarvis, Kingman, Palmyra, Midway, Wake). These data are served using GeoServer in a variety of interoperable data services and output formats: http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoserver/. See http://geoserver.org for further documentation; and GeoServer's WFS documentation at: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/services/wfs/. Lastly, GeoExplorer can be used to view these layers online at http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoexplorer/.WFS, PacIOOS, IOOS, ocean observing, Pacific, US Affiliated Territories, GeoServerhttp://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoserver/PACIOOS/hi_noaa_nwhi_papahanaumokuakea/wfsNONENONEPACIOOS:hi_noaa_nwhi_papahanaumokuakeaPapahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM) - Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI)Boundary of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM), located in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). Created in 2006, Papahanaumokuakea is the largest conservation area in the U.S. and one of the largest marine conservation areas in the world. It is home to extensive coral reefs harboring over 7,000 marine species, one quarter of which are found only in Hawaii. Many of the islands and shallow water environments are important habitats for rare species such as the threatened green sea turtle and the endangered Hawaiian monk seal. Significant cultural Native Hawaiian sites can also be found on the islands of Nihoa and Mokumanamana (Necker Island). Co-managed with the State of Hawaii and the U.S. Department of the Interior, the monument preserves one of the most untouched areas of coral reef in the world.
This layer shows the PMNM boundary after its expansion in 2016. On August 26, 2016, President Obama signed a proclamation expanding the monument from 139,797 square miles (362,073 square kilometers) to 582,578 square miles (1,508,870 square kilometers). This extended the monument boundary westward of -163 degrees longitude out to Hawaii's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) at 200 nautical miles offshore. The present layer shows the monument boundary as it existed *after* this expansion. To view the previous, smaller boundary, access the data layer for "hi_noaa_nwhi_papahanaumokuakea_2006" instead.
NOTE: This layer is provided as polygon features. For polyline features, please see the layer named "hi_noaa_nwhi_papahanaumokuakea_line" instead. Both polygon and polyline formats are provided for this dataset because the monument boundary spans the antimeridian (+/-180 degrees longitude) making it difficult to display in many GIS software applications without showing a division at the antimeridian.Earth Science > Human Dimensions > Environmental Governance/Management, Earth Science > Human Dimensions > Environmental Impacts > Conservation, Earth Science > Human Dimensions > Boundaries > Administrative Divisions, Continent > North America > United States Of America > Hawaii, Ocean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islands > Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, environment, boundariesEPSG:4326absabs_2abs_3abs_4acosAddCoveragesAggregateAreaarea2AreaGridasinatanatan2BarnesSurfacebetweenboundaryboundaryDimensionBoundsbufferBufferFeatureCollectionbufferWithSegmentsCategorizeceilcentroidclassifyClipCollectGeometriesCollection_AverageCollection_BoundsCollection_CountCollection_MaxCollection_MedianCollection_MinCollection_SumCollection_UniqueConcatenatecontainsContourconvertconvexHullcosCountCropCoveragecrossesdateFormatdateParsedensifydifferencedimensiondisjointdisjoint3Ddistancedistance3Ddouble2boolendAngleendPointenvenvelopeEqualIntervalequalsExactequalsExactToleranceequalToexpexteriorRingFeaturefloorgeometryTypegeomFromWKTgeomLengthGeorectifyCoverageGetFullCoveragegetGeometryNgetXgetYgetzgreaterEqualThangreaterThanGridHeatmapidIEEEremainderif_then_elseImportin10in2in3in4in5in6in7in8in9InclusionFeatureCollectionint2bboolint2ddoubleinteriorPointinteriorRingNInterpolateintersectionIntersectionFeatureCollectionintersectsintersects3DisClosedisCoverageisEmptyisLikeisNullisometricisRingisSimpleisValidisWithinDistanceisWithinDistance3DJenkslengthlessEqualThanlessThanlistlogLRSGeocodeLRSMeasureLRSSegmentmaxmax_2max_3max_4minmin_2min_3min_4mincircleminimumdiameterminrectanglemoduloMultiplyCoveragesNearestnotnotEqualTonumberFormatnumberFormat2numGeometriesnumInteriorRingnumPointsoctagonalenvelopeoffsetoverlapsPagedUniqueparameterparseBooleanparseDoubleparseIntparseLongpiPointBufferspointNPointStackerPolygonExtractionpolygonizepowpropertyPropertyExistsQuantileQueryrandomRangeLookupRasterAsPointCollectionRasterZonalStatisticsRecodeRectangularCliprelaterelatePatternreprojectReprojectGeometryrintroundround_2roundDoubleScaleCoveragesetCRSsimplifysinSnapsplitPolygonsqrtStandardDeviationstartAnglestartPointStoreCoveragestrCapitalizestrConcatstrEndsWithstrEqualsIgnoreCasestrIndexOfstrLastIndexOfstrLengthstrMatchesstrPositionstrReplacestrStartsWithstrSubstringstrSubstringStartstrToLowerCasestrToUpperCasestrTrimstrTrim2StyleCoveragesymDifferencetantoDegreestoRadianstouchestoWKTTransformunionUnionFeatureCollectionUniqueUniqueIntervalVectorToRasterVectorZonalStatisticsverticeswithin
