Boat Launch Sites

The California Department of Boating and Waterways provided the California Department of Fish and Game Marine Region GIS Lab with a boating facilities GIS dataset. The GIS Lab manually selected coastal and marine related boat launch sites from the boating facilities dataset to create this dataset. Only the name field was used from the boating facilities dataset and the GIS Lab added and attributed the rest of the fields in the dataset. Positions were more accurately located with the aid of aerial imagery. Please note that this dataset was clipped and reprojected as part of the San Diego Ocean Planning Partnership, a collaborative pilot project between the California State Lands Commission and the Port of San Diego. For this dataset, a three nautical mile buffer of the preliminary planning boundary was used in order to capture sites in San Diego and Mission Bay as well as Oceanside Harbor. As with other data, anything included outside of the preliminary planning boundary is for informational purposes only.
