Description: These GIS data show the locations of marinas, boatyards, yacht clubs, and yachting related facilities along the Massachusetts coast. The data were compiled from public lists, databases, and visual inspection of orthoimagery. While not fully comprehensive, these data constitute a majority of the marina-type resources available to recreational yachtspersons. All data are represented as points with associated attribute data. Marinas are generally defined by CZM for these data as facilities that cater to recreational yachtspersons and provide berths, moorings, maintenance and repair, hauling, storage, chandely, fuel, and/or other supplies. Marina types were subdivided into marinas, yacht clubs, boat yards, municipal facilities, and unknown. All "marinas" have tidal frontage.
