    The anchorage inventory provides on-line maps and information for popular southwest Florida anchorages. It is the result of a five-year program to identify where and by what means anchorage management is required in southwest Florida. To help boaters make informed choices when selecting an anchorage, information is presented on local government ordinances, recreational characteristics, shoreside amenities, anchorage uses and sizes, and important safety factors.
