CAUTION - LIMITATIONS 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. POLLUTION REPORTS Report all spills of oil and hazardous sub- stances 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). AIDS TO NAVIGATION Consult U.S. Coast Guard Light List for supplemental information concerning aids to navigation. ARTICULATED AIDS An articulated aid to navigation consists of a pipe structure that oscillates around a universal coupling connected to a sinker. The structure is kept upright by the buoyancy of a submerged flotation chamber. It is designed primarily to mark narrow channels in depths of up to 18.3 meters/60 feet. CAUTION - TEMPORARY Temporary changes or defects in aids to navigation are not indicated. See Local Notice to Mariners. CAUTION - DREDGED AREAS Improved channels are subject to shoaling, particularly at the edges. NOAA WEATHER RADIO BROADCASTS The NOAA Weather Radio stations listed below provide continuous weather broadcasts. The reception range is typically 20 to 40 nautical miles from the antenna site, but can be as much as 100 nautical miles for stations at high elevations. Los Angeles, CA KWO-37 162.550 MHz Santa Ana, CA WWG-21 162.450 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 sub- marine 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. CAUTION - MARINERS Mariners are cautioned that exploratory surveys and exploratory drilling operations may be in progress in, or in the vicinity of, the Southern California Traffic Separation Scheme. These operations may pose hazards to navi- gation. The most recent Eleventh Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners should be consulted for the schedule of current operations. RACING BUOYS Racing buoys within the limits of this chart are not shown hereon. Information may be obtained from the U.S. Coast Guard District Offices as racing and other private buoys are not all listed in the U.S. Coast Guard Light List. MINERAL DEVELOPMENT STRUCTURES Obstruction lights and sound (fog) signals are required for fixed mineral development structures shown subject to ap- proval by the District Commander, U.S. Coast Guard (33 CFR 67). 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. NOTE A Navigation regulations are published in Chapter 2, U.S. Coast Pilot 7. Additions or revisions to Chapter 2 are pub- lished 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. AUTHORITIES Hydrography and topography by the National Ocean Service, Coast Survey with additional data from the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Navy, City of Los Angeles, City of Long Beach, and U.S. Coast Guard. 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.
