CABLES The symbols for submarine and overhead cables do not differentiate between cables conducting electric power, often at high voltages, and other types of utility cables.  Mariners are advised to exercise caution when passing under all overhead cables and to avoid anchoring or conducting seabed operations in the vicinity of submarine cables.  The clearance of an overhead cable may differ from its charted value due to changes in atmospheric conditions, water levels and other factors.  For additional information, consult Notice to Mariners No. 16 of each year and the appropriate volume of CHS Sailing Directions.

BAY OF FUNDY VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICES
Traffic Services calling-in point with number; arrow indicates direction of vessel movement.  For additional information concerning these services, see Radio Aids to Marine Navigation (Atlantic Region) Part 3.

TIDAL CURRENTS Approximate directions and rates of the tidal currents at the lettered positions are given in the table and are referred to High Water at Saint John NB.  Actual current speed and direction may vary considerably with those given due to the complexity of the tides and local atmospheric disturbances.  At other locations, current arrows are used to indicate the approximate directions and rates at flood and ebb tide.  In all cases, the directions and rates are for mean tides only.

FIRING PRACTICE AND EXERCISE AREAS Limits of Firing Practice and Exercise Areas.  See Notice to Mariners No. 35 of each year.

WARNING Recent bathymetric surveys show the presence of shallower depths compared to what is presently charted. The shallower depths considered the most hazardous to navigation and within or near main shipping channels will be published in Notices to Mariners (WWW.NOTMAR.CA). Mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution, specifically when they navigate outside of the marked navigation channels.

See Notices to Mariners for subsequent corrections on this chart and Notices to Shipping in force for hazards or changes essential for the safety of navigation.
