35. What is the significance of the broken magenta lines which roughly parallel the shore between Roanoke Point and Orient Point on Long Island?

Broken magenta lines parallel to the shore between Roanoke Point and Orient Point on Long Island mark the boundaries of fish trap areas. These areas are designated on nautical charts with broken magenta lines to indicate the limits of fixed fishing gear and potential navigation restrictions; pipelines, breakers, and submerged rocks are indicated by distinct symbols and colors.
