Location: US

Rocky Point is one of the maritime facilities located in the United States. It is essential to clarify which Rocky Point I am describing, as several locations might share a similar name. For instance, one notable Rocky Point is in Long Island, New York, but it might not be specifically highlighted as a significant marine port. Another Rocky Point can be found in Sitka, Alaska. I will proceed assuming it could be either of these locations; if you have a specific Rocky Point in mind, please provide further details.

Rocky Point, New York (Long Island)

Rocky Point, Sitka, Alaska

Description

Rocky Point in Sitka, Alaska, might be closer to a functional marine port, but while Sitka has several port facilities, Rocky Point itself might focus more on environmental and natural features rather than commercial port activities.

Specifications

• Geographical Coordinates: Approximately 57.0640° N, 135.3308° W
• Main Uses: Potential for small recreational activities, wildlife observation, and some local fishing.

• Depths: Variable, with deeper waters suitable for fishing.
• Navigation: Primarily used by local and recreational vessels. Small commercial or fishing operations might occur.

General Port Specifications for Both Locations

Since Rocky Point locations are typically not classified as major commercial ports, they tend to have the following general characteristics:

1. Infrastructure: Limited docking facilities more apt for small boats and recreational vessels.
2. Services: Basic amenities like boat launches, small marina services, and public access points.
3. Economic Activity: Predominantly tourism and local recreational use.
4. Environmental Impact: Focused on maintaining natural coastal characteristics and preserving local ecosystems.
5. Accessibility: Generally more accessible to locals and tourists rather than large-scale commercial shipping operations.

If you are referring to a different Rocky Point with particular marine port attributes, additional details would be necessary to provide a more precise description and specification.
