The report focuses on Great Lakes boating and fishing since they are activities with the greatest dependency on the Great Lakes. The major objective of the study is to identify the dependency between Great Lakes boaters and the economy of the coastal communities. The report also identifies the socioeconomic profile of the Great Lakes ramp users and marina users, and summarizes the preferences and needs of boaters for facilities and services. The increased sports catch on Lake Michigan, which is a result of the fish management policies of Michigan and Wisconsin, has also been responsible for the increased interest in boating on the Great Lakes. Over 80% of the recreational boaters surveyed during the 1975 season list fishing as the primary purpose of their boating.
