Description:

Abstract:

Coastal marine forecasts and Special Marine Warnings are issued by zone, each zone identified by a text description and a Universal Generic Code (UGC). These forecasts are prepared by the individual Weather Forecast Office responsible for the zone.

Purpose:

To deliniate the coastal marine zones for the use in creating coastal marine forecasts and warnings.
