FMA norpac.area_year Table Documentation

Table name	Definition
NORPAC.AREA_YEAR	This table includes yearly area designations within the following area: south of Chukchi Sea and within the West Coast EEZ or the Alaska EEZ or the donut hole and not on land and north of 36 degrees latitude.

Column name	Type	Definition
AREA	number(3,0)	Synonymous with NMFS Area, the numbers assigned to these areas are the valid management area numbers. Lines for delineating the areas were built based on coordinates used to designate management areas. These areas often change from year to year.
GENERIC	number(3,0)	Since the management areas change over time, the generic map was invented. It is the intersection of all the yearly maps. Numbers assigned to these areas are not necessarily valid management area numbers. Lines for delineating the areas were built based on coordinates used to designate management areas.
YEAR	number(4,0)	A four-digit number identifying the year.
COBLZ	VARCHAR2(1)	A one-digit alpha code indicating whether or not the GENERIC area is part of the C. opilio bycatch limitation zone (COBLZ). Y = Yes; N = No.
