Water Trail Map

Shared Waters Map

This 2018 map/educational poster was a joint effort of theWater Trail Association, the Education Subcommittee of the Coast Guard’s Harbor Safety, Navigation and Operations Committee, and students at The New School who originally developed the map as a class project. The basic idea was to give both commercial and recreational mariners–“captains and paddlers”–a better sense of where various types of vessels were likely to be launching, landing and operating, and thus reduce the chances of conflict or an accident.
