New database floats boat of boaters | Environment

Sarasota, Fla. -- Need to find a boat ramp or really see what it looks like? A new state database can help you out.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or FWC has a new feature on its website. Boaters can visit the Public Boat Ramp finder site to locate and obtain details on more than 3,000 public and commercially run boat ramps.

"Providing save, convenient access to Florida's waterways is one of our goals," said FWC's Pat Harrell in a release. "This database is designed to help keep boaters informed about facilities that are currently available."
