Rockfish Conservation Areas now on Navionics charts

I like to fish the Broughtons, where it seems that many of the best fishing areas are in or near Rockfish Conservation Areas [RCA's]. When I upgraded my 1990s Lowrance in 2017, I was amazed at the charting, but disappointed that the charts didn't include the RCA's.

After a bit of conversation with DFO's Brad Beaith and tech support at Navionics, it was clear that everyone was willing. The last word was this message from Navionics:
Navionics appreciates your input and I am pleased to inform you that an update has been released. The updated data is currently available through our Freshest Data download which is accessed on the Navionics Webstore. For instructions on completing an update to your Navionics plotter card, please see our help article on ‘How to Register and Update Your Chip’.

Hopefully this will be helpful to those of you using Navionics charts, and act as a spur to CMAP to follow.
