This Atlas provides the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) with geospatial and resource information to assess potential environmental impacts of activities related to energy development on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). This edition builds on the previously published Large Submarine Canyons of the U.S. OCS Atlas (CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. et al. 2019) by including mapping of additional medium to large submarine canyons. BOEM developed this Atlas to facilitate environmental management of the lands of the OCS— which consists of the submerged lands seaward of State jurisdiction—and the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The EEZ extends up to 200 nautical miles (370 km) from the coastline and comprises the areas adjoining the territorial sea of the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and U.S. overseas territories and possessions.
