Coast Guard seeks public comment on Willapa Bay waterways analysis study

WILLAPA BAY, Wash. — Coast Guard seeks public comment while conducting a waterways analysis and management system (WAMS) review of Willapa Bay.

The Coast Guard uses WAMS to validate the adequacy of the existing aids to navigation (ATON) system, as well as to get a better understanding of the uses of each waterway and general safety issues. WAMS focuses on the present ATON system, marine casualty information, port and harbor resources, changes in recreation and commercial marine vessel usage, and future development projects.

The comment deadline will be February 1, 2019. To participate in the survey, visit https://www.pacificarea.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/District-13/District-Divisions/-dpw/-wams
