The polygons for 2016-07 (5 year license) and 2017-16 (5-year license) were created using the slip locations provided by NHF&G and telephone confirmation from both companies of their site dimensions. The polygon for 2017-09 (Cedar Point Shellfish; five year license) was drawn based on the description from the NHF&G license and from the operator, and sited by interpolation from aerial photography. The polygon for 2019-26 (Dr. Michael Chambers and Dr. Hunt Howell) was created from coordinates provided by NHF&G. Based on the coordinates and area of the site, a circle was created with the coordinates in the center and radius determined by the area. The polygon for 2017-28 (Virgin Oyster Shellfish, 5 year license) was drawn based on the description from the NHF&G license and from the operator, and sited by interpolation from aerial photography.
