Documentation and analysis of temporal and spatial changes in marinas serving Michigan's Great Lakes

"The purpose of this study is not only to determine the level of marina development serving Michigan's Great Lakes but also to establish a monitoring and analysis framework to update and handle these data in the future. The analysis of change in marina development over a five year time span (1978 to 1983) will give some indication of the dynamic nature of the marina industry... The current 1983 inventory was collected from a set of low oblique aerial photographs taken during the summer boating season. (June-September)... To insure comparability of our data with data from a previous time period, we elected to base the comparison on an inventory of marinas developed from aerial photographs taken of the entire state during 1978."--p. 4, 7, 12 1983 Funding: Waterways Division, Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources.; Funding: Land Resource Programs Disivion, Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources.; Funding: Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station, Michigan State University.; NOS (National Ocean Service) Library Public Domain 1935
