      The US Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District has identified a low hanging fiber optic cable at the Torrey Island Bridge in RT-2 of the Okeechobee Waterway. The fiber optic cable is estimated to be 35 feet above the water; high mast vessels are encouraged to use RT-1 until the cable is raised to 52 feet. Recreational and commercial boaters are to use caution when navigating through these sections of waterway. Once the cable is raised to the required 52 feet normal traffic will be restored.

      Hazards of North Carolina Coastal Inlets, 4/27/2016

      This Special Notice was issued last year, /148804, and the latest issue serves to urge NC boaters to use extreme caution in the inlets listed below. Shoaling in the inlets may well mean shoaling in the intersection of the inlet with the Waterway. Pay particular attention to the NC Problem Stretches that involve these inlets: Bogue, Browns, New River, Carolina Beach, Lockwoods and Shalotte. Details of these Problem Stretches are found in the links below.

      NC – HAZARDS OF NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL INLETS
      This notice is to notify mariners about accessing hazardous inlets, to heighten public awareness about the hazards that exist in and around the inlets, and to provide the mariner with available information. Mariners are advised that shoaling conditions exist at following North Carolina coastal inlets:
      Oregon Inlet
      Hatteras Inlet
      Ocracoke Inlet
      Barden Inlet
      Beaufort Inlet
      Bogue Inlet
      New River Inlet
      Topsail Inlet
      Masonboro Inlet
      Carolina Beach Inlet
      Lockwoods Folly Inlet
      Shallotte Inlet
      Shoaling conditions increase the potential for groundings. These inlets are subject to continual and sometimes rapid environmental changes. Mariners are highly encouraged to obtain the most recent U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington, North Carolina District hydrographic survey information, centerline waypoints and controlling depth at: http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Navigation/HydrographicSurveys.aspx
      Mariners should use caution when navigating in these areas and passage through the inlets is not recommended without local knowledge of the area. The aids to navigation in these inlets may not be charted and may not be marking best water due to continually shifting shoals. Consult Local Notice to Mariners, 5th Coast Guard District for the latest positions and status of aids to navigation: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=lnmDistrict®ion=5
      To report any aids to navigation discrepancies (missing, damaged, off station, extinguished lights), shoaling, hazards to navigation, or discrepancies on bridge lighting, please contact Sector North Carolina Command Center (910) 343-2200.   LNM 17/16

      NavAids Changes to Address Dangerous Shoaling at New Pass, Sarasota, FL, 2/25/2016


       View In Chartview

      Shoaling at the entrance to New Pass was recently posted in LNM: /153973. These changes to existing NavAids are definitely needed and great caution is required until the new markers are in place. New Pass leads directly to the Sarasota waterfront and the entrance portion between the Entrance Light and Light 7 is constantly shifting. Our thanks to BOSN4 Pauly for these notices.

      All concerned,
      I’m seeking your assistance in notifying the public of upcoming Coast Guard changes to New Pass, Sarasota County.
      Please forward this information to county officials, marine police, boating groups, marinas, and any other users of New Pass as you wish. Feel free to publish this information or post on social media. Thanks for your assistance.
      Subject: New Pass info
      GULF OF MEXICO – FLORIDA – SARASOTA – NEW PASS

      Dangerous shoaling exists in the vicinity of the New Pass Entrance Channel, Sarasota County. There are currently no plans by the Army Corps of Engineers to maintain the federal project channel depth. The increased shoaling has created an unsafe situation and the Coast Guard has determined that it can no longer mark “safe water” and will be removing all federal Aids to Navigation from the New Pass (NP) Entrance Light to New Pass Light 7. A Safety broadcast to Mariners will be released notifying the public of the intended start date of this work.

      New Pass Channel Light (NP) (LLNR 1345 [27°18.9185N / 082°35.8861W, 27.315309 / -82.598102]), will be discontinued and converted to a Danger Shoal Marker with a Quick Flashing, White light.
      New Pass Channel Buoy 1 (21590) will be discontinued.
      New Pass Channel Buoy 2 (21595) will be discontinued.
      New Pass Channel Buoy 3A (21600) will be discontinued.
      New Pass Channel Buoy 4 (21603) will be discontinued.
      New Pass Channel Buoy 5 (21605) will be discontinued.
      New Pass Channel Buoy 5A (21610) will be discontinued.
      New Pass Channel Light 7 (21620) will be discontinued and converted to a Danger Shoal Marker with a Quick, Flashing White light.

      Boaters are advised to seek alternate routes to and from the Gulf of Mexico and also use extreme caution while in this area. Please contact Chief Warrant Officer Darren Pauly for additional information or questions. Darren.a.pauly@uscg.mil or (813) 228-2191 ext 8184.

        So basically, New Pass is closed to navigation . Big Pass is usually a gut-clencher when transiting. Venice now best option for G of M access? Sad state of affairs for Sarasota Bay mariners , and businesses. Why no outcry?

      Shoaling at New Pass, Sarasota Gulf Coast near GICW Statute Mile 75, 1/13/2016


       View In Chartview

      New Pass is the northernmost of Sarasota’s two inlets and connects to the southern tip of Sarasota Bay at Statute Mile 75 of the West Florida Waterway. However, because of perennial shoaling, SSECN has long recommended that mariners not use New Pass!

      The Entrance Channel is subject to continual change. Buoys are not charted due to frequent shifting of shoals.

      Shoaling Reported In New Pass, between Longboat and Lido Keys, Sarasota, FL, near GICW Statute Mile 75


       View In Chartview

      New Pass is the northernmost of Sarasota’s two inlets and this channel separates Longboat Key from Lido Key. It is spanned by a bascule bridge with a closed vertical clearance of 23ft.
      Because of perennial shoaling, WE SPECIFICALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT ANY MARINER MAKE USE OF NEW PASS! This channel shoals faster than it can be dredged. You would be far better served to make use of Longboat Pass to the north, or better yet, Venice Pass to the south.

      FLORIDA – WEST COAST ‘“ CHARLOTTE HARBOR TO TAMPA BAY ‘“ NEW PASS: Shoaling/Hazard to Navigation

      Shoaling Confirmed in Northern Fields Cut, AICW Problem Stretch, Statute Mile 574, 8/20/2014


       View In Chartview

      The intersection of Northern Fields Cut and the Wright River lies north of the intersection of the Waterway and the Savannah River. Shoaling at this Problem Stretch has always been an issue and, even with last year’s dredging, shallow depths might be expected. This new Local Notice confirms earlier reports of severe shoaling as reported on May 21st, see /?p=141095.

      SOUTH CAROLINA-AICW-BEAUFORT RIVER TO ST SIMONS SOUND-FIELDS CUT: SHOALING
      There is shoaling directly in the middle of the AICW in Fields Cut. A depth of 2FT was reported in approximate position 32-05.185N/080-56.022W (32°5.1850N / 080°56.0220W, 32.086417 / -80.933700) during low-tide and poses a hazard to navigation. Mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution while transiting the area. Chart 11507 LNM: 33/14

        Subject, Northern Fields Cut shoal

        FYI, 3 years ago, coming north in the spring, a barge/push boat were coming up behind me so I idled on the side and told the tug captain that I would wait until he passed since I was not familiar with this area. He said I would have no problems as he passed and then he went aground. By the time he managed to push the barge through the shoal, there was a line of boats behind him and me. I called him and thanked him for moving the shoal for us.

        Aha! I KNEW I was in the channel!
        Thanksgiving 2013 we were transiting that very section coming out of St. Mary’s and managed to nick the bottom (In a 26 foot outboard with a 2 foot draft no less) while holding a good line between those two markers.
        Hopefully the repositioning of the markers has fixed that, but as mentioned, there is plenty of water to give those markers a very wide berth.
