Coast Pilots, along with corrections, are available at: BROADCAST NOTICE TO MARINERS - Information concerning aids to navigation waterway management promulgated through BNM HB , SF , LA , SD have been incorporated in this notice if still significant. SECTION I - SPECIAL NOTICES This section contains information of special concern to the Mariner. SUBMITTING INFORMATION FOR PUBLICATION IN THE LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS A complete set of guidelines with examples contact information can be found at or call BM1 Joshua Netherton at or D11LNM@uscg.mil. Please provide all Local Notice to Mariners submissions 14 days prior to the start of operations. BRIDGE INFORMATION-DISCREPANCIES AND CORRECTIONS For bridge related issues during normal working hours Monday through Friday, contact the Coast Guard Eleventh District Bridge Section, Coast Guard Isl, Building 50-2, Alameda, CA , telephone: Office; Cell. For emergencies or discrepancies during nights, weekends holidays, immediately notify the nearest Coast Guard Sector Comm via VHF-FM chan. 16 or via telephone: San Diego & Colorado River , Los Angeles , San Francisco , Eureka Flotsam may accumulate on near bridge piers abutments. Mariners should approach all bridges with caution. *To REPORT A DELAY AT A DRAWBRIDGE, report form DelayRept0207.pdf is included in the Enclosures section of this Local Notice to Mariners.* DGPS For information regarding the DGPS system, or to report GPS, DGPS, or AIS problems, mariners are advised to contact: nisws@navcen.uscg.gov, or the USCG Navigation Center at 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. MARINE DEBRIS With the increase in ocean debris sightings along the coastlines of the Pacific Ocean, mariners are reminded to submit debris sighting reports to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program at DisasterDebris@noaa.gov. MARINE SAFETY INFORMATION BULLETIN 03/11 25/12 Some vessel operators are choosing to depart the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) established in the Santa Barbara Channel transit through an area to the south of San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz Isls (referenced herein as south of the Channel Isls ). As such, the Los Angeles / Long Beach Harbor Safety Committee has published voluntary western traffic lanes for vessels approaching departing the Ports of Los Angeles Long Beach. Mariners transiting through the western northern approaches to from the Ports of Page 1 of 17 Coast Guard District February 2014

2 Los Angeles Long Beach (LA/LB) are advised that the established TSS through the Santa Barbara Channel as shown on NOAA 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 departing traffic 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 MSIB Voluntary Traffic Lane pdf in the Enclosures Section. TEMPORARY SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR NAVIGATING IN REDUCED VISIBILITY In response to the allision of the T/V OVERSEAS REYMAR with Pier E of the San Francisco-Oakl Bay Bridge, the Coast Guard Captain of the Port of San Francisco the Harbor Safety Committee have established Temporary Safety Guidelines for Navigating in Reduced Visibility. The temporary guidelines apply to all vessels 1600 gross tons or greater, tugs with tows 1600 gross tons or greater, all tugs with tows in petroleum service. Nothing in the guidelines should preclude vessel Master, Pilots operators from taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of their vessel at all times. Implementation of these guidelines will be monitored by the Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service. These guidelines will remain in place until the Navigation work group s comprehensive review of the Harbor Safety Committee Guidelines for Navigating in Reduced Visibility is complete. See enclosure section for guidelines TempReducedVis.pdf U.S. COAST GUARD PRECAUTIONARY TRANSIT NOTIFICATION VICINITY OF FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN In response to the situation at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Japan, the U.S. Coast Guard recommends, as a precaution, that vessels avoid transiting within 20 kilometers/10.8 nautical miles of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant ( N, E). Mariners are advised that this recommendation should be considered a minimum distance. Prudent route planning should incorporate prevailing changing wind weather conditions, in addition to the other precautionary measures. In the event a vessel bound for a U.S. port transits within 20 kilometers/10.8 nautical miles of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant ( N, E) cautionary area, the U.S. Coast Guard requires the vessel's master to submit transit information, including the date total time within the 20 kilometers/10.8 nautical miles cautionary area, to the cognizant U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port using the comment block in the routine submittal of their 96-hour Advanced Notice of Arrival. The U.S. Coast Guard will provide an updated notice as additional guidance becomes available. Mariners should keep abreast of information being provided by the government of Japan relating to any further potential impacts. U.S. COAST GUARD TO TEST AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS) AIDS TO NAVIGATION (ATON) 43/09 08/13 23/11 In the near future, the U.S. Coast Guard other authorized agencies organizations (i.e., U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Marine Exchange of Alaska) will begin transmitting AIS ATON messages marine safety information via AIS for testing evaluation. The exact content, location, times of these broadcasts will be announced in future Local Notices to Mariners. See enclosure AIS_AtoN.pdf for more details. 04/14 SECTION II - DISCREPANCIES This section lists all reported corrected discrepancies related to Aids to Navigation in this edition.

Mariners are advised to use caution while transiting these areas. CALIFORNIA COAST AND CHANNEL ISLANDS-WHALES Mariners are advised that groups of gray whales are traveling within 10 km of the coast from November to June as part of their annual migration. Mariners should keep a sharp lookout exercise caution as approximately 19,000 animals migrate along the coast during this period. Killer whales, also known as orcas, have been seen off of LA/LB in the past month. These are fairly rare visitors to the region are in the area hunting marine mammals, including sea lions dolphins. (See enclosure Channel Isls Whale Map.pdf for locations of large whale sightings in the Channel Isls area.) NOAA is asking for the public s help in tracking whales. If you see whales, record the date location, number of whales, species (if known) a description of the animals. Please the information to whales@noaa.gov. Please report collisions with whales, any observed injured whales, or dead whales to NOAA at 877-SOS-WHALe ( ) or to the U.S. Coast Guard on VHF-FM Chan. 16. Whales are federally protected under the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C et seq.), the Marine Mammal Protection Act (16 U.S.C et seq.), the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C et seq.).

19 U. S. Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles Long Beach MARINE SAFETY INFORMATION BULLETIN Los Angeles / Long Beach Harbor Safety Committee Voluntary Western Traffic Lanes 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 transit through an area to the south of San Miguel, Santa Rosa Santa Cruz Isls (referenced herein as south of the Channel Isls ). As such, the Los Angeles / Long Beach Harbor Safety Committee has published voluntary western traffic lanes for vessels approaching departing the Ports of Los Angeles Long Beach. Mariners transiting through the western northern approaches to from the Ports of Los Angeles Long Beach (LA/LB) are advised the established TSS through the Santa Barbara Channel as shown on NOAA 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 departing traffic minimizing potentially hazardous crossing situations. Mariners, who have traditionally used this approved TSS, are encouraged to continue to do so. Voluntary Western Traffic Lanes To address the safety concerns created by increased traffic south of the Channel Isls, on October 6, 2009, the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Safety Committee (LA/LB HSC) endorsed voluntary traffic lanes in the area south of the Channel Isls (referenced herein as voluntary western traffic lanes. ). The new voluntary western traffic lanes are not approved by the IMO, nor are they approved by any U.S. federal authority, including the U.S. Coast Guard. The LA/LB HSC developed theses lanes as a voluntary measure to promote vessel safety. The Coast Guard is taking separate action to study the increased traffic in this area. The geographical coordinates for the voluntary western traffic lanes are published by the LA/LB H SC secretary at Pacific Missile Test Range, Point Magu

20 Departing the IMO approved TSS transiting south of the Channel Isls may result in delays diversions, as this transit will take vessels through the Pacific Missile Test Range, Point Mugu, California. The U.S. Navy advises that hazardous operations may take place within the test range. The test range extends for 180 miles in a South West direction from Point Mugu is up to 210 miles wide. The specific hazardous areas within the range are broadcast by the Navy daily Monday through Friday at on 2638 khz 2738 khz. When notified by the Navy, the Coast Guard also broadcasts this information on VHF-FM channel 16. When transiting south of the Channel Isls (inbound or outbound to the Ports of Los Angeles Long Beach), all mariners should communicate with Navy PLEAD CONTROL in a timely manner so that early decisions can be made regarding safe routing. Every effort should be made to comply fully with any instructions received from the Navy. For information regarding the status of current hazardous operations contact PLEAD CONTROL on VHF Marine channel 11 or 16, or at (805) /8843 from , at (805) after If you are unable to contact PLEAD CONTROL, contact SAN PEDRO TRAFFIC on VHF-FM channel 14 or (310) for the most recent information regarding hazardous military operations. The Navy requests all vessels transiting the range to submit a notification to PLEAD CONTROL indicating the vessel name, destination, estimated time of entry into, departure from, the test range. Notifications can be faxed to (805) Whales Mariners are further reminded that large whales, including Blue, Grey, Humpback, Fin whales, as well as other marine mammals, have been sighted in around the Santa Barbara Channel, both within the TSS as well as to the south of the Channel Isls. These whales are all protected under federal law some are listed as endangered species. Please report any collisions with whales or any observed live, injured, or dead whales, including time position, to the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at 877-SOS-WHALE ( ) or the Coast Guard. Recreational Fishing Vessels The area to the south of the Channel Isls is also used by both commercial fishing vessels recreational vessels, whose operators may not be aware of the new voluntary western traffic lanes or that ship traffic has recently increased in this area. Since the new voluntary western traffic lanes are not an IMO approved traffic separation scheme, the International Regulations for Avoiding Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) Rule 10 does not apply. Questions Questions relating to the voluntary western traffic lanes should be directed to the LA/LB HSC Secretary at (310)
