The South Atlantic Region is the coastal area between Cape Hatteras, 

 North Carolina and Cape Canaveral, Florida. Geologically, two areas are 

 of concern to oil and gas firms. First, the Southeast Georgia Embayment, 

 culminating in the Cape Fear Arch offshore of the North Carolina/South 

 Carolina border, and second, the Blake Plateau, an area from 150 to 300 

 miles offshore of Jacksonville, Florida in over 2000 feet of water.
