"The NFMA is that area defined by a line beginning at the intersection of 70° W. longitude and the south-facing shoreline of Cape Cod, MA (point A), then southward along 70° W. longitude to 41° N. latitude, then eastward to the U.S.-Canada maritime boundary, north along the U.S.-Canada boundary until it intersects the Maine shoreline, and then following the coastline in a southerly direction until it intersects with point A."
