From Point 1 the sanctuary boundary continues east to Point 2 and then north towards Point 3 until it intersects the shoreline as defined by the mean high water (MHW) tidal datum approximately 2 nautical miles (2.3 statute miles) southeast of the entrance to the harbor at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. From this intersection the sanctuary boundary follows the shoreline southeast past Point San Luis until it intersects the line segment formed between Point 4 and Point 5 on the southern end of the southwest breakwater of Port San Luis in San Luis Obispo Bay. From this intersection the sanctuary boundary continues northeast towards Point 5 until it intersects the shoreline at Fossil Point on the northeast side of Port San Luis. From this intersection the sanctuary boundary follows the shoreline southeast past Pismo Beach and then south past Point Sal and around Point Arguello until it intersects the line segment formed between Point 6 and Point 7 on the eastern end of the breakwater just southeast of the Point Arguello Coast Guard Rescue Station. From this intersection the sanctuary boundary continues east to Point 7 and then north towards Point 8 until it intersects the shoreline. From this intersection the sanctuary boundary continues to follow the shoreline southeast past Point Conception and then east along the Gaviota Coast until it intersects the line segment formed between Point 9 and Point 10 approximately 1.7 nautical miles (2.0 statute miles) east of Dos Pueblos Canyon near the township of Naples in Santa Barbara County. From this intersection the sanctuary boundary continues offshore south to Point 10 and turns west and continues, approximating the 3 nautical mile State Seaward Boundary, passing through each successive point in numerical order to Point 119. From Point 119 the sanctuary boundary continues southwest passing through each successive point in numerical order to Point 129. From Point 129 the sanctuary boundary continues west along its southern extent to Point 130 and then Point 131 passing to the south of Arguello Canyon and Rodriguez Seamount. From Point 131 the sanctuary boundary continues roughly north for approximately 76 nautical miles (87.5 statute miles) along its western extent passing through each successive point in numerical order while passing Santa Lucia Bank to the west until it ends at Point 154.\nCoordinates listed in this appendix are unprojected (Geographic) and based on the North American Datum of 1983.\nPoint ID Latitude Longitude\n1 35.01394 −121.58238\n2 35.01394 −120.82173\n3 * 35.19306 −120.82173\n4 * 35.15602 −120.74984\n5 * 35.17425 −120.72509\n6 * 34.55436 −120.60823\n7 34.55436 −120.60643\n8 * 34.55696 −120.60643\n9 * 34.43590 −119.93333\n10 34.37859 −119.93333\n11 34.38126 −119.93822\n12 34.38391 −119.94270\n13 34.38362 −119.94657\n14 34.38354 −119.95046\n15 34.38358 −119.95292\n16 34.38367 −119.95496\n17 34.38381 −119.95698\n18 34.38401 −119.95900\n19 34.38451 −119.96257\n20 34.38575 −119.96946\n21 34.38677 −119.97406\n22 34.38730 −119.97601\n23 34.38794 −119.97815\n24 34.38872 −119.98047\n25 34.38958 −119.98274\n26 34.39053 −119.98497\n27 34.39154 −119.98716\n28 34.39263 −119.98928\n29 34.39379 −119.99136\n30 34.39491 −119.99319\n31 34.39621 −119.99514\n32 34.39713 −119.99731\n33 34.39823 −119.99962\n34 34.39930 −120.00168\n35 34.40055 −120.00386\n36 34.40107 −120.00625\n37 34.40173 −120.00882\n38 34.40261 −120.01178\n39 34.40339 −120.01409\n40 34.40425 −120.01636\n41 34.40527 −120.01878\n42 34.40628 −120.02094\n43 34.40744 −120.02320\n44 34.40752 −120.02641\n45 34.40774 −120.02956\n46 34.40806 −120.03246\n47 34.40855 −120.03569\n48 34.40907 −120.03855\n49 34.40971 −120.04137\n50 34.41040 −120.04394\n51 34.41126 −120.04667\n52 34.41100 −120.04870\n53 34.41077 −120.05096\n54 34.41062 −120.05323\n55 34.41054 −120.05528\n56 34.41052 −120.05733\n57 34.41056 −120.05961\n58 34.41068 −120.06188\n59 34.41084 −120.06392\n60 34.41046 −120.06679\n61 34.41021 −120.06927\n62 34.41004 −120.07175\n63 34.40997 −120.07424\n64 34.40990 −120.07984\n65 34.41002 −120.08369\n66 34.40991 −120.08666\n67 34.40991 −120.08964\n68 34.41011 −120.09353\n69 34.41051 −120.09739\n70 34.41088 −120.09987\n71 34.41138 −120.10255\n72 34.41203 −120.10677\n73 34.41251 −120.10941\n74 34.41331 −120.11288\n75 34.41452 −120.11729\n76 34.41509 −120.11919\n77 34.41571 −120.12107\n78 34.41639 −120.12292\n79 34.41711 −120.12474\n80 34.41802 −120.12733\n81 34.41937 −120.13068\n82 34.42030 −120.13314\n83 34.42183 −120.13678\n84 34.42266 −120.14015\n85 34.42285 −120.14124\n86 34.42227 −120.14365\n87 34.42173 −120.14631\n88 34.42126 −120.14922\n89 34.42091 −120.15216\n90 34.42039 −120.15458\n91 34.41992 −120.15725\n92 34.41942 −120.16108\n93 34.41913 −120.16493\n94 34.41904 −120.16857\n95 34.41913 −120.17221\n96 34.41941 −120.17583\n97 34.41986 −120.17943\n98 34.41968 −120.18174\n99 34.41957 −120.18378\n100 34.41952 −120.18583\n101 34.41952 −120.18788\n102 34.41961 −120.19038\n103 34.41978 −120.19288\n104 34.42001 −120.19513\n105 34.42034 −120.19763\n106 34.42014 −120.20103\n107 34.42010 −120.20468\n108 34.42062 −120.21923\n109 34.41994 −120.22203\n110 34.41933 −120.22509\n111 34.41885 −120.22818\n112 34.41849 −120.23141\n113 34.41819 −120.23501\n114 34.41806 −120.23821\n115 34.41788 −120.24012\n116 34.41768 −120.24279\n117 34.41758 −120.24551\n118 34.41758 −120.24801\n119 34.41735 −120.25140\n120 34.38689 −120.26775\n121 34.33744 −120.32691\n122 34.30480 −120.37560\n123 34.27979 −120.41671\n124 34.20486 −120.53987\n125 34.18182 −120.60041\n126 34.10208 −120.64208\n127 34.07464 −120.73023\n128 33.87643 −120.85081\n129 33.82377 −1720.90550\n130 33.83184 −121.21320\n131 33.85137 −121.34958\n132 33.91005 −121.40902\n133 34.08467 −121.40925\n134 34.16932 −121.49111\n135 34.21050 −121.49220\n136 34.26897 −121.49681\n137 34.32128 −121.50604\n138 34.37975 −121.51066\n139 34.41821 −121.51681\n140 34.45284 −121.52704\n141 34.54049 −121.56178\n142 34.57950 −121.57941\n143 34.59446 −121.59010\n144 34.64285 −121.62378\n145 34.65978 −121.63763\n146 34.67836 −121.65637\n147 34.69012 −121.66652\n148 34.70722 −121.68042\n149 34.72486 −121.69538\n150 34.74143 −121.70340\n151 34.76227 −121.70500\n152 34.78952 −121.69966\n153 34.89914 −121.64260\n154 35.01394 −121.58238\nNote 1 to appendix A: The coordinates in the table marked with an asterisk (*) are not a part of the sanctuary boundary.
