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.

The Lights in the Bay of Fundy and on the southern and eastern coasts of Nova Scotia, those required for the winter passage of either steamers or ice boats t,o Prince Edward Island, and all the Lights in British Columbia; are exhibited all the year round. All other lights under the control of the Department of Marine and Fisheries are maintained in opera- tion whenever the navigation in the vicinity is open.
