waters off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington in which the United States claims exclusive fisheries jurisdiction; Area 2B includes all waters off the coast of British Columbia in which Canada claims exclusive fisheries jurisdiction; and Area 2C includes all waters off the coast of Alaska, that are south of Cape Spencer, in which the United States claims exclusive fisheries jurisdiction.
