TABLE II.-Length of coastline of the United States, by coastal reach 1 Measurements were made with a unit measure of 30 minutes latitude. The corresponding mileage varies slightly, but at the latitude of San Francisco, 30" is about 34.5 miles. Shoreline of bays and sounds is included to a point where such waters narrow to the width of the unit measure, and the distance across at such point is included. 2 As above, except that a unit measure of 3 statute miles was used. 3 As above, except that a unit measure of 100 feet was used. • Measurements on detailed basis not available; approximated here by using "general coastline" miles. Source: Department of Commerce, Coast and Geodetic Survey; Department of Defense, Corps of Engineers (for Great Lakes information). 1 In general, includes lakes, reservoirs, and ponds having 40 acres or more of area and streams and estuaries, canals, etc., of a statute mile or more in width. Does not include water surface of the oceans, bays, Gulf of Mexico, Long Island Sound, Puget Sound, and the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Georgia.

TABLE IV.—Area of the United States Continental Shelf, by coastal regions [Thousands of square statute miles] 1 That part of the sea floor extending from the low water line at the coast seaward to the indicated distance or depth. 'Fathom is a unit of length equal to 6 feet. Source: U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
