No specific test was performed on the dataset. For the 3 or 9 nautical mile line and EEZ lines, obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Ocean Service, the data is a reflection of the largest scale raster nautical charts of the area. The number of decimal places used in the output format does not imply an accuracy level higher than the source chart documents.

Points were selected to enclose the historic BP Oil Spill estimated on 09/01/10, and in water observations, to the state water line. An area was opened in the north-central portion from the far eastern coast of Louisiana, through Mississippi, Alabama, and western Florida panhandle. This area was originally closed because oil was present in the area; however, no oil has been documented in the area since July 29. Remote sensing data reported some scattered anomalies in the area between July 19 and July 29, 2010; however, these anomalies were primarily spotted in the southeast portion of the area and overflight observations indicate they were predominantly light sheens with very little recoverable oil being observed. A study was recently completed that analyzed water from below light sheen and found no detectable concentrations of PAHs. NOAA scientists sampling the area during that time period observed no oil in any form. NOAA analyzed 122 finfish and shrimp samples for sensory analysis and 183 finfish and shrimp samples for chemical analysis, from locations widely distributed over the area to be re-opened, which are representative of the species targeted by commercial and recreational fishermen in that area, including finfish such as snapper, as well as shrimp. All samples tested from the area were well within the established public safety levels of concern in the Re-opening Protocol, with no detectable odors or flavors of contamination, and all testing was done in accordance with the Re-opening Protocol.
Lines were created from those points. The resulting line and the State/Federal water line were merged, then edited to remove the State/Federal water line that extended beyond the spill area. A polygon was created from the merged lines. The data was projected to Albers Equal Area Conic Projection (customized for this specific area). The area was calculated for the closure using ArcTools Utilities.
