WILMINGTON, N.C. — Coast Guard Sector North Carolina is scheduled to temporarily discontinue numerous navigation aids Thursday in the vicinity of Hatteras Inlet due to shoaling.Recent hydrographic surveys indicate shoaling in Hatteras Inlet between Buoy 9 and Buoy 13. The current navigational aids in this section of the waterway do not accurately mark navigable water due to limited channel depth and reduced channel width. Mariners are advised to use the preferred alternate routes known as Barney Slough and South Ferry Channel to enter or depart the ocean inlet. Due to the potential for increased shoaling and changes in channel depths and widths in the Hatteras Inlet Channel, use of regional and local navigation information is highly encouraged.The following navigation aids, found on Hatteras Inlet Channel chart 11555, will be temporarily discontinued.28669 - Buoy 928730.1 - Channel Lighted Buoy 11A28670 - Buoy 9A28730.15 Channel Buoy 11AA28724 - Lighted Buoy 9B28730.2 - Channel Lighted Buoy 11B28726 - Lighted Buoy 1028733 - Channel Lighted Buoy 12AA28726.1 - Buoy 10A28733.1 - Channel Lighted Buoy 12B28726.2 - Lighted Buoy 10B28733.2 - Channel Lighted Buoy 12C28729 - Lighted Buoy 1128735.2 - Channel Lighted Buoy 13The Coast Guard will continue to monitor the conditions of the waterway and update mariners as necessary.
