Coast Guard wants your feedback!

Help improve the Nation’s shallow draft waterways ATON system

 

 

 

The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a 5 minute on-line survey to assess the East Coast Shallow Draft Waterway Systems. The study will help the Coast Guard to determine the Aids to Navigation (ATON) requirements in the Shallow Draft Waterway Systems which includes all navigable waterways of the United States less than 12 feet. Surveys have already taken place on the West and Gulf Coasts, now it’s time for the East Coasters to weigh-in.

 

The Coast Guard wants your feedback if you operate in navigable along the east coast in waters less than 12 ft. in depth.
