Description:

Abstract:

The NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) has compiled geographic information on the boundaries of aquaculture sites in NH’s tidal waters. The coverage contains the boundaries of aquaculture sites that were licensed in 2020. This shapefile is the first version of 2020 licensed sites. A revision to this first version may be issued if new farms are licensed and/or existing licenses are modified. The information in this shapefile is current as of 6/8/2020.

Purpose:

The purpose of this coverage is to compile all existing information about the extent of aquaculture operations in NH’s tidal waters.
