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 No. 16 in the Notices to Mariners, Annual Edition and the appropriate volume of CHS Sailing Directions.

FIRING PRACTICE AND EXERCISE AREAS Navigable waters on this chart fall within area S1and Q1. See Notice No. 35 in the Notices to Mariners, Annual Edition.

BATHYMETRIC CONTOURS  The presentation of non-standard bathymetric contours is the result of a direct mathematical conversion from foot and/or fathom contours to metres.

MARINE FARMS Numerous Aquaculture sites exist in the Placentia Bay area containing various obstructions. Mariners are advised to maintain a safe distance and exercise caution when navigating in these areas. Avoid anchoring in or too close to current or abandoned aquaculture sites.

FISHING In Canadian waters and fishing zones, provided that a vessel engaged in fishing does not impede the passage of any vessel transiting a traffic lane, it may fish in any direction in or near a Traffic Separation Scheme. All vessels must comply with the Collision Regulations. See Canadian Notice to Mariners No. 8 of each year.

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.
