Notice to Mariners Background Information The  chart  and  publication  correction  system  is  based  on  the  periodical, Notice  to  Mariners,  published  weekly  by  the  DMAHTC  and  the  Local Notice  to  Mariners  also  published  by  the  U.S  Coast  Guard  weekly  to inform  mariners  of  corrections  to  nautical  charts  and  publications.  This periodical  announces  new  nautical  charts  and  publications,  new  editions, cancellations,  and  changes  to  nautical  charts  and  publications.  It  also summarizes  events  of  the  week  as  they  affect  shipping,  advises  mariners of  special  warnings  or  items  of  general  maritime  interest,  and  includes selected  accounts  of  unusual  phenomena  observed  at  sea.  Distribution  of the  Notice  to  Mariners  is  made  weekly  to  all  U.S.  Navy  and  Coast  Guard ships and to most ships of the merchant marine. The  classified  Chart  and  Publication  Correction  System  is  based  on  the Classified  Notice  to  Mariners,  published  on  an  as-needed  basis  by  the DMAHTC  to  inform  mariners  of  corrections  to  classified  nautical  charts and publications. The  Notice  to  Mariners  provides  information  specifically  intended  for updating  the  latest  editions  of  nautical  charts  and  publications  issued  by the  Defense  Mapping  Agency,  the  National  Ocean  Service,  and  the  U.S. Coast  Guard.  When  the  Notice  to  Mariners  is  received,  it  should  be examined  for  information  of  immediate  value.  The  list  of  new  charts  and new  editions  of  charts  and  publications  should  also  be  checked  to  assure that the latest editions are on board. In  section  I  of  the  Notice  to  Mariners,  chart  corrections  are  listed  by chart  number,  beginning  with  the  lowest  and  progressing  in  sequence through  each  chart  affected.  The  chart  corrections  are  followed  by publication  corrections,  which  are  also  listed  in  numerical  sequence. Since  each  correction  pertains  to  a  single  chart  or  publication,  the  action specified  applies  to  that  particular  chart  or  publication  only.  If  the  same correction  also  applies  to  other  charts  and  publications,  it  is  listed separately  for  each  one. Figure  1-18  illustrates  the  Notice  to  Mariners  format  for  presenting corrective  information  affecting  charts.  A  correction  preceded  by  a  star indicates  that  it  is  based  on  original  U.S.  source  information.  If  no marking  precedes  the  correction,  the  information  was  derived  from  some other  source.  The  letter  T  preceding  the  correction  indicates  the information  is  temporary  in  nature,  and  the  letter  P  indicates  it  is preliminary.  Courses  and  bearings  are  given  in  degrees  clockwise  from 000°  true. 1-29
