Recreational vessel registrations by vessel size
| Fernbach, 2008:
|
| "Most of the vessels used for recreation in the Great Barrier Reef Area are smaller than 10 metres while larger vessels are generally used commercially. By far the most popular boat length for recreational vessels is 3 to 4.5 metres with over 28,000 vessels registered in December 2007." |
 |
| "With the exception of very small vessels (<3 metres) Historic data from Queensland Transport shows that recreational vessel ownership has increased substantially since 2002." |
