ELECTRONIC NAVIGATION CHARTS "RANGE STRUCTURES: The U.S. Coast Guard has become aware that Coast Guard information used to depict a range line on NOAA Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) may not be of sufficient accuracy to accurately portray the range line on the ENC. Mariners are cautioned that the position of a range line as shown on an ENC may not reflect its true position." LNM: 03/11 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA-2010 COMMERCIAL CRAB SEASON The commercial crab season is open and in progress in the waters off of northern California. Mariners should expect to see concentrations of crab pots and fishing vessels engaged in setting or retrieving crab pots; and are advised to keep a sharp lookout at all times; especially at night, during periods of reduced visibility, and when approaching offshore traffic lanes. Commercial and other vessels in transit to or from San Francisco Bay are advised to utilize the offshore traffic separation schemes. All mariners are advised to adhere to Rule 10 of the Navigation rules so as to promote predictability and minimize interactions with fishing vessels and gear. All mariners are reminded of the requirement as set forth in Rule 5 of the Navigation Rules to at all times maintain a proper lookout by sight and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision. All mariners are reminded of the requirement as set forth in Rule 6 of the Navigation Rules to at all times proceed at a safe speed so that she Page 1 of 12 LNM: 07/11 Coast Guard District 11 15 February 2011 can take proper and effective actions to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions. LNM: 45/10 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA-MARINE SAFETY INFORMATION BULLETIN There has been a recent trend in traffic patterns where some vessel operators are choosing to depart the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) established in the Santa Barbara Channel and transit through an area to the south of San Miguel, Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Islands (referenced herein as “south of the Channel Islands”). As such, the Los Angeles / Long Beach Harbor Safety Committee has published voluntary western traffic lanes for vessels approaching and departing the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Mariners transiting through the western and northern approaches to and from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (LA/LB) are advised the established TSS through the Santa Barbara Channel as shown on NOAA and Admiralty charts is the only International Maritime Organization (IMO) approved routing measure in this area. An IMO approved TSS reduces the risk of collision by providing for the separation of arriving and departing traffic and minimizing potentially hazardous crossing situations. Mariners, who have traditionally used this approved TSS, are encouraged to continue to do so. For additional information please see the Enclosures Section.
