This is for most of the Atlantic Ocean. It's intended to try to protect Right Whales. As the article says, "since 1998 there have been 8 confirmed deaths of a Right Whale from boats over 35 feet, but under 65 feet". This would destroy the offshore fishing charter business from Nov to May in most waters. Hard to believe, so glad my boat is under 35 feet. Article below:
