RECOMMENDED TWO-WAY WHALE AVOIDANCE ROUTE
The two-way route is RECOMMENDED for use by all vessels traveling into or out of Fernandina Beach. This routing has been established to reduce the likelihood of ship strikes of endangered North Atlantic Right Whales. Mariners are warned that some vessels might not be able to keep to the starboard side of the route at all times. CAUTION: Full bottom coverage surveys have not been conducted within the entire route, so uncharted dangers may exist. See Chapter 1, U.S. Coast Pilot.
