The Special Local Notice to Mariners is an annual Coast Guard Eleventh District publication. It contains important information for mariners transiting the seacoast from the California/Oregon border to the United States/Mexico border and all federally designated navigable waters in Nevada, Utah, Arizona and California. I hope you find this publication a helpful guide for boater safety. Over the last year, this Special Local Notice to Mariners has received several modifications and updates. It includes tips and information for trip planning, local hazards and points of contact for obtaining further information or answering questions. We also provide excerpts from the various federal laws and regulations regarding vessel boarding, reporting marine pollution, aids to navigation and Vessel Traffic Service procedures. The most basic responsibility of the U.S. government is to protect the lives and safety of its citizens. Coast Guard maritime safety activities save lives, minimize damage to property, protect the environment, and safeguard the U.S. economy. As the Eleventh District Commander, it is an honor to work with the maritime community and I am committed to keeping our waterways safe and secure.

  • GPS/GNSS What Is It? How Does It Work? What Are Its Applications?
    GPS/GNSS What is it? How Does it Work? What are its Applications? Historic Navigation • Reference points in the sky used for navigation – The Sun – The Pole Star / North Star – Southern Cross • Gives Direction, but not position • Add a sextant to give latitude • And a clock to give longitude GNSS Principles • GNSS satellites in the sky are the new reference points • If my GNSS receiver "sees" 4 or more satellites, it can compute my position – "see" means track and process navigation signals Satellites as Accurate Reference Points • GNSS signals contain information about the satellites' positions – very accurate reference points • Measure the distance from the satellites to the receiver • Knowing at least three distances from three reference points gives position How do you measure distance? speed = distance / time distance = speed x time satellite signals contain 'time stamps' radio waves travel time = tsent – treceived at light speed "c" – 300,000km in 1 second – 300km in 1ms (1/1000th) – 300m in 1μs (1/millionth) – 300mm in 1ns Compute position distance = speed x time 8 • speed = 3x10 m/s • time = tsent – treceived • but, receiver time not accurately known • so the time stamp from a fourth satellite is measured • compensates for the missing receiver time Example GNSS Signal • radio frequency at "L-band" – typically 1575MHz • at satellite: signal energy spread by a code • at receiver: spread signal energy is unlocked and refocused – "code gain" • allows simple antennas to receive low power signals • and to share the frequency with other satellites/systems Position relative to? • A position is pointless without having a ground reference • A world reference is used, eg WGS84 – World Geodetic System 1984 • Allows position fix to be placed on a World grid • Maps can be referenced to the same grid • you can determine where you are on a map What is GNSS used for? PNT • Positioning… surveying and mapping – location based services – air traffic management – search and rescue • Navigation… a given.

Reasons for this might be excessive cognitive workload caused by too many instruments to read and compile, navigation information that is displayed in a cognitively demanding way, short decision times due to high speed or fatigue due to minimum manning and long work hours. This work addresses the problem of map information displayed in a less than optimal way. Three new concepts are presented: the bridge perspective, the NoGo area polygons and a dual lane seaway network.
