Navigation Safety

Boating is a huge industry in coastal Florida, both from a recreational and commercial standpoint. The Coastal Storms Program listened to these communities and devoted the resources from several state and federal agencies toward finding the information these users needed.

Shallow Water Bathymetry
Changing water depths, shoals, and obstructions to navigation are of the utmost importance to boaters. NOAA's Office of Coast Survey identified many changes to soundings, or depth, and a record 45 previously unknown obstructions to navigation on the St. Johns River between Mayport and Palatka. Visit this site to learn more about shallow water bathymetry.

River Circulation Model
Red tides and oil spills are just two of the many reasons that health officials cited when requesting more information about water circulation models. Circulation models show actual and forecasted river conditions. Visit this site to learn more about the St. Johns River circulation model.
