The offshore-priority grid is intentionally uneven. It is research-priority data, not a complete fishing-spot map. It stays off under Show Everything unless you turn it on yourself.

Data rule: NOAA supplies marine and habitat layers. Puerto Rico government GIS supplies freshwater lakes, lagoons, rivers and streams. BigJoe does not invent missing coordinates or turn a planning layer into a guaranteed fishing spot.
Select a Fishing Hot Spot on the map or from the list to see coordinates, depth, structure, fish evidence and safety notes.

Safety: these are planning and habitat references. Use current official charts, weather and marine alerts, current regulations, property/access verification, and proper safety equipment before fishing or navigating.
