Description: Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a navigation safety device that transmits and monitors the
location and characteristics of many vessels in U.S. and international waters in real-time. This dataset
represents the density of all vessel traffic in 2012 for the US Georgia Coast with AIS transponders in 100 meter grid cells. The dataset is best interpreted using a high to low density scale and does not represent actual vessel counts.
