Gulf of Mexico NOAA Chart

CLICK PITCURE ON RIGHT TO ZOOM IN ON CHART AND FOR PUBLICATION INFO!

Coast Survey creates and updates traditional paper charts, which are printed by the Federal Aviation Administration. A new chart edition includes the latest nautical information available to NOAA up until the time of printing. NOAA produces new editions when navigationally important changes render the prior printing obsolete. During a typical year, NOAA may create 200 to 300 new chart editions.

The edition number and date (month and year of printing) are in the lower left corner of the chart. The dates of the latest Notice to Mariners and Local Notice to Mariners corrections are also listed.

The chart date is important to the navigator. When charted information becomes obsolete, further use of the chart for navigation may be dangerous. Natural and man-made changes, many of them critical, occur constantly. Navigators should obtain the latest edition of a chart, and correct their copies at regular intervals with changes published in the Notices to Mariners.
