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 data set does not include unofficial (illegal) aids, such as PVC pipes, placed without permission. This data set is not certified for navigation and is not intended for navigation purposes. Each USCG district headquarters is responsible for updating its database on an as-needed basis. When existing aids are destroyed or relocated and new aids are installed, the database is updated. Each aid is assigned an official light listing number. The Light List is a document listing the status of the ATONs; it is regularly published and distributed. Interim changes to the Light List are published in local notices to mariners. In addition, the USCG broadcasts notices to mariners on the marine band radio as soon as changes in the status of individual aids are reported. Navigators should use the official notices to mariners to maintain current charts. Annual (or more frequent) updates of the Aids to Navigation database can be obtained from each USCG district headquarters.
This data set represents a GIS layer of ATONs as of December 19, 2013; with spatial extent of the Seventh Coast Guard District plus the Gulf of Mexico area from the Eighth Coast Guard District.
These data are not to be used for navigation or positional referencing. Users are instructed to consult the appropriate navigational chart, notice to mariners, and light list for any purpose other than natural resource conservation planning. Due to the possibility of unknown errors in reporting, projection or datums the accuracy of these data are not certified. The existence, position and description of features might have changed since data were originally compiled.
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

The source data were downloaded as XML Spreadsheets from the Coast Guard Light List Weekly Updates site. FWRI reformatted the latitude and longitude to decimal degrees in order to convert to shapefile using the Add X,Y tool in ArcMap. FWRI also added additional attributes based on the information provided by the coast guard in order to create symbology fields. See the Entity and Attribute Section for more information.
