Navigation

NOAA produces and maintains a suite of nautical charts that cover the coastal waters of the U.S. and its territories. NOAA’s charts are available in a variety of formats, including:

• Traditional paper charts
• Print-on-Demand charts: up-to-date paper charts with current Notice to Mariners corrections
• Raster Navigational Charts® (NOAA RNCs): bitmap electronic images of paper charts
• Electronic Navigational Charts® (NOAA ENCs): vector charts that conform to international standards

Mariners should always contact US Coast Guard Humboldt Bay for a bar report prior to crossing the bar.
