Coast Guard seeks public comment for Admiralty Inlet waterways analysis

Posted

U.S. Coast Guard officials are seeking public comment while conducting a waterways analysis and management system (WAMS) review of Admiralty Inlet.

Officials are seeking information from local mariners regarding the general use of the waterways and any issues with the visibility, placement or location of aids to navigation in that area before the public comment deadline of July 31, 2016.

Admiralty Inlet is the waterway connecting the Strait of Juan de Fuca (Pacific Ocean) and Puget Sound.

The WAMS includes Admiralty Bay, Port Townsend Bay, Kilisut Harbor, Oak Harbor, Mutiny Bay, Useless Bay, Port Ludlow Bay and Skunk Bay. The study focuses on the area’s aids to navigation system, waterborne commerce, marine casualty information, port/harbor resources, emergency response plans, routine and emergency communication capabilities and future development projects.
