NOAA CUSTOM CHART

NOTES GEOSPATIAL DATABASE

VERSION 3.0C - 17 MARCH 2026

The records of the NOAA Custom

Chart Notes Geospatial Database are

current

as

of

March

17,

2026.

Subsequent additions and refinements

are to be expected. Please refer to

all

available

navigational

publications for complete information

about the charted area.

CAUTION

AUTOMATED CHART GENERATION

This NOAA Custom Chart has been

automatically

rendered

from

NOAA

Electronic Navigational Chart (NOAA

ENC®) data. Mariners using this NOAA

Custom Chart are advised that this is

a static reproduction of the NOAA

ENC®. This NOAA Custom Chart has not

been individually quality checked or

adjusted

for

optimal

use

for

navigation. The portrayal may be at a

different scale from that of the

original NOAA ENC®. Mariners are

advised to use caution when using

this NOAA Custom Chart for navigation

and are encouraged to use the latest

NOAA ENC® to access the most up-to-

date information. Mariners must also

comply with all applicable regulatory

requirements.

CAUTION

CHART UPDATES

This NOAA Custom Chart contains up-

to-date information only as of the

time of creation, and will become

outdated. Mariners are advised to

visit

https://

distribution.charts.noaa.gov/

navigation-updates/

to

check

for

critical and routine updates, and to

render a new NOAA Custom Chart when

the ENC data used to make the chart

is updated. Notices to Mariners are

not issued for corrections to this

NOAA Custom Chart.

HEIGHTS

Heights of fixed aids to navigation

and vertical clearances of overhead

obstructions will be shown in feet if

the units are set to feet or fathoms.

If units are set to meters, heights

will

be

shown

in

meters.

Land

elevation values are shown in meters

only.

AIDS TO NAVIGATION

Consult U.S. Coast Guard Light List

for

supplemental

information

concerning aids to navigation.

Radar reflectors have been placed

on many floating aids to navigation.

Individual

radar

reflector

identification on these aids has been

omitted from this chart.

WARNING

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.

PRECAUTIONARY AREA

Traffic within the Precautionary

Area may consist of vessels making

the transition between operating in

Ambrose or Sandy Hook Channels and

one of the traffic lanes. Mariners

are advised to exercise extreme care

in navigating within this area.

TRAFFIC SEPARATION SCHEME

One-way

traffic

lanes

are

RECOMMENDED for use by all vessels

traveling

between

the

points

involved. They have been designed to

aid in the prevention of collisions

at the approaches to New York Harbor,

Narragansett Bay and Buzzards Bay,

but are not intended in any way to

supersede or alter the applicable

Rules of the Road. Separation zones

are intended to separate inbound and

outbound traffic and to be free of

ship traffic. Separation zones should

not be used except for crossing

purposes. When crossing traffic lanes

and separation zones use extreme

caution.

CAUTION

LIMITATIONS ON THE

USE OF RADIO SIGNALS

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.

CAUTION

FISH TRAP AREAS

Uncharted

stakes,

piles

and,

fishing structures, some submerged,

may exist within this area.

CAUTION

DANGER AREA

Area is open to unrestricted

surface navigation but all vessels

are cautioned neither to anchor,

dredge, trawl, lay cables, bottom,

nor conduct any other similar type of

operation because of residual danger

from mines on the bottom.

CAUTION

Temporary changes or defects in

aids to navigation are not indicated

on this chart. See Local Notice to

Mariners.

During some winter months or when

endangered by ice, certain aids to

navigation are replaced by other

types or removed. For details, see

U.S. Coast Guard Light List.

AREA TO BE AVOIDED

To avoid the risk of pollution and

damage to the environment, this area

has been designated an Area to be

Avoided.

All

vessels

carrying

petroleum,

dangerous

or

toxic

cargoes.

or

any

other

vessel

exceeding 1,000 gross tons should

avoid this area.

RESTRICTED AREA

RIGHT WHALE SEASONAL

MANAGEMENT AREA

(50 CFR 224.105)

All vessels greater than or equal

to 65 feet / 19.8 meters in length

must slow to speeds of 10 knots or

less in seasonal management areas.

NOTE Z

NO-DISCHARGE ZONE, 40 CFR 140

Under the Clean Water Act, Section

312, all vessels operating within a

No-Discharge

Zone

(NDZ)

are

completely

prohibited

from

discharging any sewage, treated or

untreated,

into

the

waters.

All

vessels with an installed marine

sanitation device (MSD) that are

navigating,

moored,

anchored,

or

docked within a NDZ must have the MSD

disabled to prevent the overboard

discharge

of

sewage

(treated

or

untreated) or install a holding tank.

Regulations for the NDZ are contained

in the U.S. Coast Pilot. Additional

information

concerning

the

regulations and requirements may be
