NAVIGATION SAFETY CALL

CAUTION
Due to the density of small islets and the scale limitations of this ENC, a
selection of small islets has been performed in congested areas.

CABLES
For the mariners safety, all submarine and overhead cables are assumed to
conduct electric power at high voltages and contact with or proximity to these
poses an extreme danger.  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.  However if anchors become hooked onto a
cable care must be taken not to sever the cable.  Cables installed since the
date of publication of this cell may not be charted.  Sufficient clearance must
be allowed under all overhead cables.  Actual clearances may differ from charted
values due to changes in atmospheric conditions, ice buildup and/or water
levels.  For additional information, consult Notice to Mariners No.  16 of each
year and the appropriate volume of CHS Sailing Directions.

NAVIGATION SAFETY CALL
Before leaving Parry Sound Harbour or when passing Red Rock inbound, vessels
should broadcast their position and intentions on VHF Channel 16 (156.8 MHz).
