David,
I'm not really sure what your point is, seems to be misdirected,
however, while I don't participate in Florida fishing and/or boating,
that industry rakes in tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars each
year in the state alone, not to mention nation wide. If there's a
market for it, someone will provide a service. It has nothing to do
with our failing educational system. As far as your estimate is
concerned, not sure how you come up with estimates like that so fast,
but it seems overstated.
Perhaps you can point Dan in the direction of those "private sector"
projects already underway .

I sure hope that the State of Florida will come up with money for its
teachers and educational system before it starts helping tourists decide
where to drop a line. This project could cost hundreds of thousands of
dollars and it should be done in the private sector. The web service
alone is at least a few hundred thousand dollars to implement and annual
maintenance will not be pennies either.
Similar projects are already underway in the private sector.
