Explanatory Notes – Notices to Mariners (NOTMAR)
Geographical positions refer directly to the graduations of the largest scale Canadian Hydrographic Service chart (unless otherwise indicated).
Bearings refer to the true compass and are measured clockwise from 000° (North) clockwise to 359°; those relating to lights are from seaward.
Visibility of lights is that in clear weather.
Depths - The units used for soundings (metres, fathoms or feet) are stated in the title of each chart.
Elevations are normally given above Higher High Water, Large Tide (unless otherwise indicated).
Distances may be calculated as follows:
1 nautical mile = 1,852 metres (6,076.1 feet)
1 statute mile = 1,609.3 metres (5,280 feet)
1 metre = 3.28 feet
Temporary and Preliminary Notices to Mariners – Section 1A of Notices to Mariners
These notices are indicated by a (T) or a (P), respectively.
Please note that nautical charts are not amended by the Canadian Hydrographic Service for temporary (T) and preliminary (P) notices. It
is recommended that mariners chart these corrections in pencil. For the list of charts affected by (T) & (P) notices,
please refer to the current Notices to Mariners - Monthly Summary of Temporary and Preliminary Notices
publication.
Please note: In addition to the temporary and preliminary changes normally advertised as (T) & (P) notices, there are a few permanent changes to aids to navigation that have been advertised as preliminary Notices to Mariners while charts are being updated for new editions.
Marine Information Report and Suggestion Sheet
Mariners are requested to notify the responsible authorities when new or suspected dangers to navigation are discovered, changes observed in aids to navigation or corrections to publications are seen
to be necessary. Such communications can be made using the "Marine Information Report and Suggestion Sheet" (fillable PDF form) and is inserted on the last
page of each monthly edition of Notices to Mariners.
NOTMAR Website – Monthly Editions, Chart Corrections and Chart Patches
The NOTMAR website allows users to access the monthly publications,
chart corrections, and chart patches.
Users can subscribe for free to the email notification service
to receive notifications when charts of interest are updated, including their patches, as well as when a new monthly edition becomes available online.
In addition, the monthly publication and related
files to download, such as chart patches and Sailing
Directions diagrams, can be obtained all together
through the download of a single ZIP file.

Chart Corrections – Section 2 of Notices to Mariners
Corrections to nautical charts will be listed in numerical order by chart number. Each chart correction listed applies only
to that particular chart. Related charts, if any, will have their own specific correction listed separately.
Users should also refer to CHS Chart 1: Symbols, Abbreviations and Terms for additional information pertaining to the correction of charts.
The illustration below describes the elements that will comprise a typical Section 2 chart correction:
The last correction number is identified with the LNM/D or Last Notice to Mariners Number / Date.
Mariners are advised that only the most critical changes that directly affect safety to navigation are issued in “Section 2 – Chart Corrections.” This limitation is required to ensure that charts remain as clear and easy to read as possible. As a result, mariners may see minor discrepancies of a non-critical nature between information in official publications. For example, a small change in the nominal range or focal height of a light may not result in the production of a chart correction in Notices to Mariners, but may result in a correction in the List of Lights, Buoys and Fog Signals publication.
Note: In the case of a discrepancy between information provided on CHS charts relating to aids to navigation, and the List of Lights, Buoys and Fog Signals publication, the latter shall be deemed as containing the most up-to-date information.
Canadian Nautical Charts & Publications
A source list of Canadian nautical charts and publications is published in Notice No. 14 of the Notices to Mariners Annual Edition 2021. The source supply and the prices
effective at the time of printing are listed. For current chart edition dates, please refer to the following website:

Explanatory Notes – Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS)
Navigational Warnings / Notices to Shipping
The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is implementing a number of changes to the aids to navigation system in Canada.
These changes are advertised as Navigational Warnings, formerly called Notices to ShippingFootnote 1, that are broadcast by the CCG, and are then followed up with Notices to Mariners, then charts are updated by hand correction, reprints or new editions.
Mariners are advised that all relevant Navigational Warnings (NAVWARNs) should be kept until superseded by Notices to Mariners or through revised charts issued by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS).
NAVWARNs are accessible on the applicable regional page on the CCG Navigational Warnings website at http://nis.ccg-gcc.gc.ca.
CHS is reviewing the impact of these changes with CCG and together are preparing an action plan on the issuing of chart revisions.
For further information, contact your regional NAVWARN Issuing Desk.

*405/21Gulf of St. Lawrence – Protection of the North Atlantic Right Whale
Purpose
This notice describes the speed restriction zones that vessels
must follow in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The Government of Canada has established these zones to reduce
the risk of vessel collisions with North Atlantic right whales
(NARW).
Context
Due to changing migration patterns of North Atlantic right whales and their increased presence in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Government of Canada has established seasonal speed restrictions in specific zones. These speed restrictions zones are defined as “static zones”, “dynamic shipping zones”, “seasonal management areas”, a trial “voluntary speed restriction zone’’ and a “restricted area”. See the map below for details.
Note: Navigational Warnings outlining the speed restrictions are considered to be Notices to Shipping, which vessels must follow. The Interim Order for the Protection of North Atlantic Right Whales (Eubalaena Glacialis) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 2021 enables the issuance of Navigational Warnings (NAVWARNs) imposing speed restrictions or navigation restrictions.
Speed restriction zones are described in monthly Notices to
Mariners (NOTMARs), which are published by the Canadian Coast
Guard (CCG). The status of these zones are broadcast through
NAVWARNs, which are published by the CCG’s Marine Communications
and Traffic Services (MCTS) Centres.
Changes to speed restriction zones and
measures
Based on consultations with industry and on scientific data,
changes to the speed restriction zones will be effective from
April 28, 2021, while the restricted area will be implemented
based on whale presence:
•For a second consecutive year, a trial voluntary slowdown of 10.0 knots over the ground spanning from Cabot Strait (a line running from Cape North NS to Cape Ray NL) to the eastern edge of dynamic shipping zone E will be implemented at the beginning and end of the North Atlantic right whale season.
•Again this year, a restricted area located in and near Shediac Valley. The location and size are both based on historical data of North Atlantic right whale aggregations, while the triggering mechanism is based on in-season detections.
•As of this year, the 36.57 m (20-fathom) shallow water protocol will apply to all commercial fishing vessels.
Please refer to the latest NAVWARN issued by the CCG-MCTS for all speed restrictions currently in effect.
Speed Restriction Measures for 2021
These restrictions will be in effect from April 28 to November 15, 2021.
Exemption
The following exemption will apply to all measures:
•A vessel in distress or providing assistance to a person or a vessel in distress.
Static zones
In the static zones, all vessels above 13 m in length overall (LOA) must proceed at a speed of not more than 10.0 knots over the ground.
Exceptions
Air cushion vessels operated by or on behalf of the Government of Canada that are engaged in ice-clearing activities from April to June in and around Chaleur Bay are exempted when in operation.
36.57 m (20-fathom) shallow water protocol
Vessels engaged in any commercial fishing activity may proceed at a safe operational speed in waters not more than 36.57 m (20 fathom) deep.
If a notice to fish harvesters states that at least one right whale has been detected within a static zone in waters that are not more than 36.57 m deep, the 10 knots speed limit will apply to all vessels above 13 m in length overall (LOA) 15 days after the day on which the notice comes into effect.
If a new notice to fish harvesters with the same statement is published or broadcast during the last seven days of the 15-day period, the speed limit will continue to apply for a further 15 days after the day on which the new notice comes into effect.
Coordinates for the northern static zone:
•50° 20’ N 065° 00’ W |
Coordinates for the southern static zone:
•48° 40’ N 065° 00’ W |
Dynamic shipping zones
There are five dynamic shipping zones (DSZ) located in the routeing systems north and south of Anticosti Island: A, B, C, D and E
Coordinates for the dynamic shipping zones:
Zone A
•49⁰ 41’ N, 065⁰ 00’ W
|
Zone B
•49⁰ 22’ N, 064⁰ 00’ W
|
Zone C
•49⁰ 00’ N, 063⁰ 00’ W
|
Zone D
•50⁰ 16’ N, 064⁰ 00’ W
|
Zone E
•48⁰ 35’ N 062⁰ 00’ W |
|
When the Government of Canada detects a North Atlantic right whale in a dynamic shipping zone:
•All
vessels will be notified via a NAVWARN; and
•Vessels
above 13 m in length overall (LOA) must proceed at a speed of
not more than 10.0 knots over the ground within that zone.
Speed restrictions in the dynamic shipping zones
The detection of North Atlantic right whales in one or more
dynamic shipping zone(s), will trigger a speed restriction in the
concerned zone(s). The speed restriction in the dynamic shipping
zone(s) will be in effect for 15 days from the date of issuance
of the NAVWARN. The speed restriction may be extended for an
additional 15 days from the date that a new NAVWARN comes into
effect, if North Atlantic right whales continue to be detected
during the last 7 days of the 15-day slowdown period.
When a NAVWARN is issued implementing a speed restriction in
one or more dynamic shipping zone(s), vessels above 13
m in length (LOA) must not exceed a speed of 10.0
knots over the ground.
Within any zone that is not subject to a speed restriction,
mariners may proceed at a safe operational speed. Mariners are
encouraged to take into consideration the potential for their
vessel striking North Atlantic right whales when considering a
“safe operational speed” during navigation.
Seasonal management areas
Seasonal management area 1 (SMA-1) and seasonal management area 2
(SMA-2) are speed restriction areas located north and south of
dynamic shipping zone E, respectively.
Within seasonal management areas, vessels above 13
m in length (LOA):
•must restrict their speed so as not to exceed 10.0 knots over the ground from April 28 to June 29, 2021; and
•are allowed to proceed at a safe operational speed from June 30 to November 15, 2021, unless a North Atlantic right whale is detected. If a whale is detected, a speed restriction of 10.0 knots over the ground will be triggered for 15 days from the date of issuance of the NAVWARN. The speed restriction may be extended for an additional 15 days from the date that a new NAVWARN comes into effect, if North Atlantic right whales continue to be detected during the last 7 days of the 15-day slowdown period.
Coordinates for the SMA-1:
•49° 04’ N 062° 00’ W |
Coordinates for the SMA-2:
•48° 24’ N 062° 00’ W |
Restricted area
In the summer months, an important proportion of the total North
Atlantic right whale population gathers for feeding and surface
activity near the Shediac
Valley. Since this makes the North Atlantic right whale more
susceptible to vessel collisions, a mandatory restricted area
will be implemented in and near the Shediac
Valley and will come into force once 80% of the restricted
area is closed to fishing for the season as per
the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’s right whale closure
protocol. The restricted area will be lifted once the North
Atlantic right whale detections decrease in the restricted area
or at the latest on August 31, 2021.
The size and location of the area is determined based on
historical detection data of North Atlantic right whales. All
necessary details can be found in the Interim Order. Triggering
and lifting of the restricted area will be communicated to
mariners through a NAVWARN and notice to fish harvesters.
Vessels above 13 m in length (LOA) will be
required to:

Inclement weather exception
Mariners will be notified in advance via a NAVWARN should the
speed restriction status change in any zone or area, due to
inclement weather.
Within any zone or area that is not subject to a speed
restriction due to adverse weather conditions for example,
mariners may proceed at a safe operational speed. Mariners are
however encouraged to take into consideration the potential for
their vessel striking North Atlantic right whales when
considering a “safe operational speed” during navigation.
*Non-excepted vessels are still prohibited from transiting
through the restricted area.
Trial voluntary slowdown in Cabot Strait
To coincide with the North Atlantic right whales entering and exiting the Gulf of St. Lawrence in large numbers, a trial voluntary slowdown is being put in place for the second year in Cabot Strait from April 28 to June 29, 2021, and from September 29 to November 15, 2021.
•During these periods, vessels above 13 m in length (LOA) are requested to voluntarily reduce their speed so as to not exceed 10.0 knots over the ground.

NAVWARN broadcasts
The CCG-MCTS issues and publishes NAVWARNs:
•by radio broadcast; and
•online at Canada’s Maritime Information Portal and its Navigational Warnings site.
Mariners must ensure they have accurate and up-to-date
information about the protection of the North Atlantic right
whale, as in all applicable NOTMARs and NAVWARNs.
For the North Atlantic right whale speed restrictions, the
NAVWARN(s) currently in effect will be provided to vessels
subject to the Vessel Traffic Services Zone
Regulations or the Eastern Canada Vessel Traffic
Services Zone Regulations:
Outbound vessels
•at Calling-in-Point 10 (St-Laurent); or
•upon a departure downstream from the Quebec pilot station (including the Saguenay River, Chaleur Bay, Miramichi Bay, etc.)
Inbound vessels
•when a clearance to enter Canadian waters is granted
Vessels in transit
•at the last reporting point prior to entering the mandatory speed restriction zones; and/or
•at 10 nautical miles prior to entering the mandatory speed restriction zones
For those vessels not subject to the above-mentioned regulations, vessel operators are required to monitor broadcasts by the Canadian Coast Guard’s Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS) network for the most up to date information. For marine radio frequencies and broadcast times, information may be found in the Radio Aids to Marine Navigation publication.
Aids to navigation
The Canadian Coast Guard is currently testing virtual Automatic
Identification System (AIS) aids to navigation (AIS AtoN) in
specific areas, NOTMAR 208(T)/2021 refers. These aids notify
mariners of a dynamic shipping zone and/or a seasonal management
area subject to a speed restriction.
Each zone is delimited by four to six virtual AIS AtoN, which
can be displayed on a ship’s navigation equipment, such as
•Electronic
Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS);
•Electronic
Chart System (ECS);
•RADAR;
•Minimum
Keyboard Display (MKD); and
•Electronic
Nautical Chart (ENC).
The Canadian Coast Guard broadcasts the virtual AIS AtoN only when a speed restriction is in effect in one or more testing zones.
Mariners must select the virtual AIS AtoN symbol to view a message such as “SectA1 Spd Lim 10 kt.” This message refers to a speed restriction in effect for a specific zone.
Note: This system is not the primary method of communicating this information.
Compliance and enforcement
Vessels must comply with the Interim Orders made pursuant to the
Canada Shipping Act, 2001, and any NAVWARNs broadcast
and published by the Canadian Coast Guard relating to the Interim
Orders, aimed at regulating the navigation for the purposes of
protecting the North Atlantic right whales.
If a vessel does not comply with the Interim Orders or
instructions in the NAVWARNs related to the Interim Orders, the
vessel could face:
•administrative monetary penalties up to a maximum of CAN $250,000; and/or
•penal sanctions under the Canada Shipping Act, 2001.
If a vessel appears to have violated the speed restriction, Transport Canada Marine Safety inspectors will review all information provided through AIS and seek an explanation from the master.
No exemptions to the speed restriction will be granted in advance. However, if a deviation from the speed restrictions is necessary for safety reasons, the following information must be entered into the bridge logbook:
•Reason(s)
for deviation
•Speed
at which vessel is operated
•Latitude
and longitude at time of deviation
•Time
and duration of deviation
•Master
of the vessel shall sign and date the bridge logbook entry
For any deviation, Transport Canada will review and consider reasons such as
•Navigating
to ensure vessel safety;
•Weather
conditions;
•Force
majeure (unforeseeable circumstances); and
•Responding
to emergencies.

*406/21Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park - Beluga Whale Protection: Slowdown Area at the Mouth of the Saguenay Fjord and Area Closure at Baie Sainte-Marguerite
The Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park and its surrounding area
are at the heart of endangered beluga whale critical summer
habitat. Marine mammal protection measures have been put in
place in accordance with the Marine Activities in the
Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park Regulations within the
limits of the Marine Park.
However, important feeding, calving and rearing areas for
beluga whales require greater protection to ensure the
recovery of the species. The portion of the Saguenay situated
between the mouth of the Fjord and Baie Sainte-Marguerite is
one of the areas most used by females and their young from
May to October. The mouth of the Saguenay is known as a
feeding ground and Baie Sainte-Marguerite as a calving and
rearing area.
In order to prevent collisions with beluga whales, a
compulsory 15-knot slowdown area is in effect from May
1st to October 31st at the mouth of the
Saguenay. To ensure tranquility for female belugas and their
young during the critical calving period, access to Baie
Sainte-Marguerite is prohibited to all vessels from June
21st to September 21st, except for
special authorizations (see description below).
For safety reasons, the slowdown area measure at the
mouth of the Saguenay Fjord does not apply to cargo
ships (see the monthly edition of Notices to
Mariners from May to October for voluntary protection
measures in the St. Lawrence Estuary). An enhanced vigilance
is, however, recommended to all navigators between the mouth
of the Saguenay Fjord and Baie Sainte-Marguerite for the
protection of beluga whales.
For more information on the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine
Park, see notice 5C of the Notices to Mariners Annual
Edition 2021 or visit marinepark.qc.ca.
REGULATORY PROTECTION MEASURES — BELUGA WHALE
Entire Marine Park Territory:
•When
beluga whales are less than half a nautical mile (926 metres)
from a motorized vessel, the vessel must maintain a speed of
between 5 and 10 knots.
•All
vessels, including human-powered vessels (kayaks and canoes),
must continue to move forward and maintain their heading.
•All vessels must maintain a minimum distance of 400 metres from beluga whales at all times.
For more information concerning the regulations, consult: marinepark.ca/protect/#regulations.
Mouth of the Saguenay Fjord (Figure 1) — Slowdown Area (area crosshatched in red):
•Maximum speed at the mouth of the Saguenay between buoys S7 and S8 and the ferry docks between Baie-Sainte-Catherine and Tadoussac is 15 knots from May 1st to October 31st.
Baie Sainte-Marguerite (Figure 2) — Area Closure (red area):
•From June 21st to September 21st, vessels must not enter the red area, which follows a line between Cap Nord-Ouest and Cap Sainte-Marguerite.
•Special authorizations are granted only for kayaks, canoes and recreational fishermen who must travel without stopping along a corridor within 10 metres of the shore or in shallow areas.
VOLUNTARY PROTECTION MEASURES
Baie Sainte-Marguerite sector (Figure 2) — Transit Area (area crosshatched in yellow):
•From June 21st to September 21st, navigation in this area is recommended at a speed of between 5 and 10 knots without stopping.
The purpose of this transit area is to favour respect of the Marine Activities in the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park Regulations, since beluga whales are often present in the Baie Sainte-Marguerite sector.
INFORMATION
All incidents, including collisions with whales, must be reported without delay by dialling 1-866-508-9888. For any other situation concerning a marine mammal that is either dead or in trouble, contact the emergency network at 1-877-722-5346, or use VHF channel 16.

Figure 2
*407/21Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park and Surrounding Waters – Whale Protection
The waters in and around the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park are well known for the resident endangered beluga population and the wide diversity of whales that migrate there to feed, particularly between April and November.
REGULATORY PROTECTION MEASURES
All whale species that are found in the St. Lawrence are
protected under the Marine Mammal Regulations,
pursuant to the Fisheries Act. Within the boundaries
of the Marine Park, specific measures are set out in the
Marine Activities in the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park
Regulations, pursuant to the establishment of the
Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park Act. Any collision
with a marine mammal within the Marine Park must immediately be
reported to a park warden at 1-866-508-9888. For collisions
that occur outside the Marine Park or for any situation
involving a marine mammal that is dead or in trouble, contact
the emergency network at 1-877-722-5346 or on VHF channel
16.
For more information on the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine
Park, see notice 5C of the Notices to Mariners Annual
Edition 2021.
VOLUNTARY PROTECTION MEASURES
Provisional measures in effect from May 1 to October 31, 2021.
See map at the end of this notice.
These measures apply to merchant vessels and cruise ships
between Pointe à Boisvert and Cap de la Tête au Chien to
prevent collisions with whales. These measures should only be
taken when they will not jeopardize navigational
safety.
Caution area (yellow area): To reduce the
risk of collisions with whales that can be present anywhere
in this area, heightened vigilance of navigators is critical.
Posting a lookout is recommended in order to increase the
chances of seeing the whales and thus taking necessary
measures to avoid them. If bypassing the whales is not
possible, slow down and wait for the animals to move away to
a distance greater than 400 metres (0.215 nautical miles)
before resuming original speed. It is more difficult to see
the animals at night therefore increased caution is
recommended.
Slow down to 10 knots or less area (red
area): To reduce the risk of collisions with whales
in this feeding area, it is recommended that vessels slow
down to a maximum speed through the water of 10 knots and
post a lookout. It is further recommended to remain in the
Laurentian Channel to the north of Île Rouge to minimize the
impact of noise in a sensitive area south of this island,
which is highly frequented by herds of beluga whales composed
of females and young.
Area to be avoided (hatched red area): To
reduce noise and the risk of collisions with whales, vessels
should avoid transiting through this area which is highly
frequented by blue whales, an endangered species. If the area
cannot be avoided, slow down to a speed through the water of
10 knots or less.
