Estimation of the present and projected demand and supply of boat ramps for Florida's coastal regions and counties
Registered boats less than 26 feet in Florida have expanded from 449,995 in 1982 to 620,548 in 1993,a 38 percent increase. Boats of this size are likely to be trailered to boat ramps for access towater bodies in and around the state. This increased demand for boat ramps has been accompanied bymany studies and surveys indicating a need for more public boat ramps and that existing ramps needimprovement. This report covers boat ramp issues and boaters' willingness to pay for manatee protection. (106pp.)
