Description:
Abstract:
This GIS data set includes information gathered for recreational boating characterization studies completed in several areas of Florida. The features mapped in this data set include trip origin locations as reported by respondents to the boating activity survey.
The questionnaire asked survey recipients to mark, on the map, the location of the trip departure site, travel routes, favorite destinations, and congested areas associated with their last two pleasure boating trips. Complementary questions allowed recipients to characterize their last two trips according to vessel type, the departure date and time, and time spent on the water. In addition, recipients were asked the number of days per month that they take "typical" trips and the primary activities that they engaged in while at a particular destination. They were also asked to identify and rank reasons for selecting departure sites, travel routes, and favorite destinations. Finally, a series of open-ended questions addressed problems, needed improvements, and the kinds of information that would enhance recreational boating experiences.
Purpose:
The recreational boating use study was conducted to document and map current marine facility and waterway usage in selected study areas in Florida.
Supplemental_Information:
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Questionnaire recipients were asked to (1) mark on a map the starting points of their last two pleasure boating trips, (2) draw their entire travel routes, (3) identify activity locations along those routes, and (4) annotate the map with abbreviations for those activities. Respondents were also asked to indicate by the letter C any places on the map they considered congested and by the letter A where they desired greater or improved waterway access.
Spatial information was digitized "on-screen" using a 1:24,000 scale shoreline, natural color Digital Orthophotograph Quarter Quadrangle (DOQQ) imagery, and the positions of marinas, ramps, navigation aids, and artificial reefs as background themes to enhance the accuracy. Trip departure sites, congestion spots, and locations of desired additional access were digitized as point features, with each record coded with the survey control number and, where appropriate, the trip number (i.e., first or second trip). A marina or ramp origin was also coded with the map legend number for the respective facility name. Destination/activity sites were digitized as point features and were coded with the survey control number, the trip number, and the type of activity. Travel routes were digitized as line features with the following attribute information coded: survey control number, trip number, and trip features such as one-way vs. round trip, and whether or not the trip was confined to the study region. Off-map trip attributes included ultimate destinations and associated activities.
