Sarasota County has partnered with several agencies and organizations to produce the "Boating and Angling Guide to Sarasota County." The guide contains information about our waterways and specifically highlights the natural features and recreational opportunities associated with the waters in this region.

The guide depicts the waterway area from Terra Ceia Bay in Manatee County to the Charlotte County line in Lemon Bay.

Information depicted for these areas includes environmental features, artificial reef locations, bridges, speed zones, parks and anchorages, as well as other amenities.

The guide is currently available at the County Administration Building and some other county offices. It will be available at Parks and Recreation locations, at county libraries and through the Sarasota Convention and Visitors Bureau. In addition, it will be available on the Water Atlas site.

The "Boating and Angling Guide" is part of a series of guides being produced throughout the State, developed primarily with outside funding.

• Primary sponsorship of the guide’s production was through funding from Sports Fish Restoration, Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida Coastal Management Program, United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Florida Wildlife Research Institute.
• Sarasota County provided in-kind services and paid for printing costs.
• Additional sponsorship was provided by the Sarasota Convention and Visitors Bureau which contributed funds to cover printing costs. Sarasota Bay Estuary Program and Sarasota Audubon Society sponsored the guide through sharing key information collected by their organizations and providing it to the county at no cost.
