WARNING - PRUDENT MARINER 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. AIDS TO NAVIGATION Consult U.S. Coast Guard Light List for supplemental information concerning aids to navigation. NOTE A Navigation regulations are published in Chapter 2, U.S. Coast Pilot 7. Additions or revisions to Chapter 2 are published in the Notice to Mariners. Information concerning the regulations may be obtained at the Office of the Commander, 11th Coast Guard District in Alameda, California or at the Office of the District Engineer, Corps of Engineers in Los Angeles, California. Refer to charted regulation section numbers. POLLUTION REPORTS Report all spills of oil and hazardous substances to the National Response Center via 1-800-424-8802 (toll free), or to the nearest U.S. Coast Guard facility if telephone communication is impossible (33 CFR 153). CAUTION - TEMPORARY Temporary changes or defects in aids to navigation are not indicated. See Notice to Mariners. CAUTION - LIMITAIONS 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. NOAA VHF-FM WEATHER BROADCASTS The National Weather Service stations listed below provide continuous marine weather broadcasts. The range of reception is typically 20 to 40 miles from the antenna site, but can be as much as 100 nautical miles for stations at high elevations. San Luis Obispo, CA KIH-31 162.55 MHz Santa Barbara, CA KIH-34 162.40 MHz Santa Barbara Marine, CA WWF-62 162.475 MHz CAUTION-SUBMARINE PIPELINES AND CABLES Additional uncharted submarine pipelines and submarine cables may exist within the area of this chart. Not all submarine pipelines and submarine cables are required to be buried, and those that were originally buried may have become exposed. Mariners should use extreme caution when operating vessels in depths of water comparable to their draft in areas where pipelines and cables may exist, and when anchoring, dragging, or trawling. Covered wells may be marked by lighted or unlighted buoys. MINERAL DEVELOPMENT STRUCTURES Obstruction lights and sound (fog) signals are required for fixed mineral development structures, subject to approval by the District Commander, U.S. Coast Guard (33 CFR 67). TIDAL INFORMATION For tidal information see the NOS Tide Table publication or go to http://co-ops.nos.noaa.gov”. RADAR REFLECTORS Radar reflectors have been placed on many floating aids to navigation. Individual radar reflector identification on these aids has been omitted from this chart. NOTE E - Submarine Pipelines and Cables Uncharted submarine pipelines and cables may exist in the vicinity of oil well structures, and between such structures and the shoreline. Mariners should use caution when anchoring. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Additional information can be obtained at nauticalcharts.gov. IMO AMENDED TRAFFIC SEPARATION SCHEME Portions of the traffic separation scheme shown on this chart have been amended by the IMO. See IMO COLREG.2/Circ.64. Please be advised that these portions have not been revised by the United States Coast Guard and that the corresponding changes have not been updated in the Code of Federal Regulations (33 CFR part 167). There are differences between the two traffic separation schemes and caution is advised. END OF FILE
