The horizontal reference datum of this chart is North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83),
which for charting purposes is considered equivalent to the World Geodetic system of 1984
(WGS 84). Geographic positions referred to the North American Datum of 1927 do not
require conversion to NAD 83 for plotting on this chart.

CAUTION
Limitations on the use of radio signals as aids to marine
navigation can be found in the U.S. Coast Guard Light Lists
and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Publication 117.
Radio direction-finder bearings to commercial broadcasting
stations are subject to error and should be used with caution.
Station positions are shown thus:
(Accurate location)
(Approximate location)
HURRICANES AND TROPICAL STORMS
Hurricanes, tropical storms and other major storms may cause considerable damage to
marine structures, aids to navigation and moored vessels, resulting in submerged debris in
unknown locations.
Charted soundings, channel depths and shoreline may not reflect actual conditions
following these storms. Fixed aids to navigation may have been damaged or destroyed.
Buoys may have been moved from their charted positions, damaged, sunk, extinguished or
otherwise made inoperative. Mariners should not rely upon the position or operation of an
aid to navigation. Wrecks and submerged obstructions may have been displaced from
charted locations. Pipelines may have become uncovered or moved.
Mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution and are requested to report aids to
navigation discrepancies and hazards to navigation to the nearest United States Coast
Guard unit.

MAGNETIC VARIATION
Beaufort
Swansboro
Magnetic variation curves are for 2008, derived from 2005 World Magnetic Model and
accompanying secular change. If annual change is in the same direction as variation, it is
additive and the variation is increasing. If annual change is opposite in direction to the
variation, it is subtractive and the variation is decreasing.
