NOTES:
|
|
|
|
NOTE A
|
|
Navigation regulations are published in Chapter 2 of each regional U.S. Coast Pilot. Additions or revisions to Chapter 2 are published in the Notice to Mariners. Information concerning the regulations may be obtained from the Coast Guard District Commander. Refer to charted regulation section numbers.

AUTHORITIES
|
|
Hydrography and topography by the National
|
|
Ocean Service, Coast Survey, with additional
|
|
data from the U.S. Coast Guard and Geological
|
|
Survey, and National Geospatial-Intelligence
|
|
Agency.

|
|
|
AIDS TO NAVIGATION
|
|
Consult U.S. Coast Guard Light List for
|
|
supplemental information concerning aids to
|
|
navigation.
|
|
See National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
|
|
Lists of Lights and Fog Signals for information
|
|
not included in the U.S. Coast Guard Light List.
|
|
|
|
|
|
POLLUTION REPORTS
|
|
Report all spills of oil and hazardous sub-
|
|
stances to the National Response Center via
|
|
1-800-424-8802 (toll free), or to the nearest U.S.
|
|
Coast Guard facility if telephone communication
|
|
is impossible (33 CFR 153).
|
|
|
|
|
|
CAUTION - USE OF RADIO SIGNALS (LIMITATIONS)
|
|
Limitations on the use of radio signals as aids to marine navigation can be found in the U.S. Coast Guard Light Lists and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Publication 117. Radio direction-finder bearings to commercial broadcasting stations are subject to error and should be used with caution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
|
|
Consult U.S. Coast Pilot 4 for important
|
|
supplemental information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CAUTION - TEMPORARY CHANGES
|
|
Temporary changes or defects in aids to
|
|
navigation are not indicated. See
|
|
Local Notice to Mariners.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING - PRUDENT MARINER
|
|
The prudent mariner will not rely solely on any single aid
|
|
to navigation, particularly on floating aids. See U.S. Coast
|
|
Guard Light List and U.S. Coast Pilot for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CAUTION - SUBMARINE PIPELINES AND CABLES
|
|
Additional uncharted submarine pipelines and
|
|
submarine cables may exist within the area.
|
|
Not all submarine pipelines and sub-
|
|
marine cables are required to be buried, and
|
|
those that were originally buried may have
|
|
become exposed. Mariners should use extreme
|
|
caution when operating vessels in depths of
|
|
water comparable to their draft in areas where
|
|
pipelines and cables may exist, and when
|
|
anchoring, dragging, or trawling.
|
|
Covered wells may be marked by lighted or
|
|
unlighted buoys.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HURRICANES AND TROPICAL STORMS
|
|
Hurricanes, tropical storms and other major storms may
|
|
cause considerable damage to marine structures, aids to
|
|
navigation and moored vessels, resulting in submerged debris
|
|
in unknown locations.
|
|
Charted soundings, channel depths and shoreline may not
|
|
reflect actual conditions following these storms. Fixed aids to
|
|
navigation may have been damaged or destroyed. Buoys may
|
|
have been moved from their charted positions, damaged, sunk,
|
|
extinguished or otherwise made inoperative. Mariners should
|
|
not rely upon the position or operation of an aid to navigation.
|
|
Wrecks and submerged obstructions may have been displaced
|
|
from charted locations. Pipelines may have become uncovered
|
|
or moved.
|
|
Mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution and are
|
|
requested to report aids to navigation discrepancies and
|
|
hazards to navigation to the nearest United States Coast Guard
|
|
unit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
RADAR REFLECTORS
|
|
Radar reflectors have been placed on many
|
|
floating aids to navigation. Individual radar
|
|
reflector identification on these aids has been
|
|
omitted from this chart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ADMINISTRATION AREA
|
|
The entire extent of this ENC cell falls within the limits of an Administration Area. This area covers land, internal waters, and territorial sea. The territorial sea is a maritime zone over which the United States exercises sovereignty extending to the airspace as well as to its bed and subsoil. For more information, please refer to the Coast Pilot.

|
WATER LEVELS, CURRENTS, AND TIDES
|
|
Real-time water levels, tide predictions, and tidal current predictions are available on the internet from NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) at https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/water_level_info.html and https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/currents_info.html.

|
|
|
|
|
CAUTION - USACE HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS
|
|
USACE conducts hydrographic surveys to monitor navigation conditions. These surveys are not intended to detect underwater features. Undetected features hazardous to surface navigation may exist in federal channels, as might shoaling, particularly along the edges of channels. For more information visit https://navigation.usace.army.mil/Survey/Hydro/ .
