Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 03:28 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 31, 2019 at 12:00 AM
This report and data set provides baseline data of the types of boats, the location of boats, the abundance of boats, and the activities of the people on the boats. The report is largely descriptive, including boat count and boat densities. Basic patterns of the distribution of boats by time, location, or types are described, and statistical analysis of the differences in boating patterns are provided when appropriate. Aerial surveys were conducted at altitudes between 500 and 1000 feet, at a speed of approximately 100 knots to characterize boating patterns throughout the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS).
