One way of establishing research priorities concerning Biscayne Bay is according to existing or potential conflicting uses of the bay's resources. This paper reviews some of the major conflicts among recreational boaters and between recreational boating and other uses of the bay. The activities associated with recreational boating are highly dependent on th abundance and quality of th bay's natural resources as well as the availability of facilities such as marinas. The objectives of the ongoing boating assessment program are to establish the magnitude, type and locations of recreational boating and the relative dependence of recreational boating on specific natural resources and marine facilities.
