2013 Pleasure Craft and Sailing Vessel Density

Description

Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a navigation safety device that transmits and monitors the location and characteristics of many vessels in U.S. and international waters in real-time. This dataset represents the density of pleasure craft and sailing vessel traffic in 2013 for the contiguous United States offshore waters from pleasure craft and sailing vessels with AIS transponders in 100 meter grid cells. The dataset is best interpreted using a high to low density scale and does not represent actual vessel counts.
