In 1982, there were over 9 million registered recreational boats in the U. S. (NMMA 1983).1 Of this total, 5.3 percent were registered in Florida, where there is one registered boat for every 22 Florida residents. The demand for boating and associated recreation both in Florida and the nation has created a derived demand for marinas, yet little is known about the theoretical and empirical aspects of the demand for marina services.2 Furthermore, marinas, boating, and all other forms of development and use place demands on the coastline and the shoreline of each state's navigable lakes, rivers, and streams. The survival and development of the marina industry is, in part, dependent upon submerged land use. Submerged lands provide various environmental services or functions which may be reduced by marina development. This is generally known as the wetlands issue, which has led to legislation making marina development more difficult.3 The purpose of this article is to develop a theoretical framework for marina demand and
