</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This GIS data set represents the aids to navigation (ATONs) for the Seventh and Eighth Coast Guard Districts. The term "aids to navigation" refers to devices outside of a vessel that are used to assist mariners in determining their position, safe course or warn them of obstructions. Aids to navigation include light buoys and beacons. This data set includes federal aids, which are installed and maintained by the Coast Guard, as well as some privately maintained aids. This layer can be accessed via the FMRI tab in DataMiner and is under the 'Oceans & Estuaries' and 'Transportation' category in DataCatalog.</FONT></P>
