What is the primary use of nautical charts for boaters?

  1. Decorating the boat

  2. Checking the weather

  3. Navigation and identifying waterway features

  4. Recording travel logs

The correct answer is: Navigation and identifying waterway features

Nautical charts are primarily used for navigation and identifying waterway features. They provide important information such as depths, hazards, and aids to navigation, allowing boaters to safely navigate and plan their routes. Decorating the boat, checking the weather, and recording travel logs are all secondary uses of nautical charts and do not serve as the main purpose for boaters.
