Are Your Charts Up To Date?
Another reminder to keep those marine charts updated.
Having accurate navigational tools----namely, updated charts----is not only useful but a responsibility of mariners, explains Ed Martin, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Prevention Department, Branch Chief for the Chart Updating Program. "Paper and electronic charts must be constantly maintained to reflect any changes by man or nature. Boaters need to use the most up-to-date charts available, and I recommend boaters turn to the resources available on the Alliance for Safe Navigation website for information on keeping charts updated."
Things change — constantly.
