Areas of Particular Concern
Areas of Particular Concern (APCs) have been
designated in state waters through the Ocean SAMP
process with the goal of protecting areas that have
high conservation value, cultural and historic value, or
human use value from Large‐Scale Offshore
Development.
5.
Areas Designated for Preservation
Areas Designated for Preservation are designated in
the Ocean SAMP area in state waters for the purpose
of preserving them for their ecological value.6 Areas
Designated for Preservation were identified by
reviewing habitat and other ecological data and
findings that have resulted from the Ocean SAMP
process. Areas Designated for Preservation are
afforded additional protection than Areas of Particular
Concern because of scientific evidence indicating that
Large‐Scale Offshore Development in these areas may
result in significant habitat loss.
