This area consists of all waters of the Bering Sea subarea south of a line connecting the points 163°0[min]00[sec] W long./55°46[min]30[sec] N lat., 165°08[min]00[sec] W long./ 54°42[min]9[sec] N lat., 165°40[min]00[sec] long./54°26[min]30[sec] N lat., 166°12[min]00[sec] W long./54°18[min]40[sec] N lat., and 167°0[min]00[sec] W long./54°8[min]50[sec] N lat.\10\The 20 nm closure around this site is effective in federal waters outside of State of Alaska waters of Prince William Sound.\11\Some or all of the restricted area is located in the Seguam Foraging area (SFA) which is closed to all gears types. The SFA is established as all waters within the area between 52° N lat. and 53° N lat. and between 173°30[min] W long. and 172°30[min] W long.\12\The 3 nm trawl closure around Puale Bay and the 20 nm trawl closure around Cape Douglas/Shaw I. are effective January 20 through May 31.
