SUBMARINE CABLES AND PIPELINES
Mariners are advised not to anchor or trawl in the vicinity of submarine cables and pipelines. Pipelines are not always buried and 
their presence may significantly reduce the charted depth. They may also span seabed undulations and cause fishing gear to 
become irrecoverably snagged, putting a vessel in severe danger.

IALA MARITIME BUOYAGE (REGION B)
Some buoys and beacons in the area of this
chart may not conform to the IALA system.
