FISH STAKES 



Fish stakes should not be shown inside the limits of fish trap areas. Where no fish trap 

 regulations have been established, fish stakes may be shown if known to be of a permanent 

 nature or if they are a definite hazard to navigation. 



KULES OF THE ROAD (Fig. 1) 



The line of demarcation between the areas where the Inland Rules of the Road apply and 

 the areas where the International Rules of the Road apply shall be shown on charts of 

 1:80,000 scale and larger, (Fig. 1). The note "USE INLAND RULES OF THE ROAD" 

 shall be placed on the inshore side of the line. 



Regulations governing the Rules of the Road are specified in U.S. Coast Guard publication 

 CG-169 "PILOT RULES," which is on file in the Standards Section. 



A note, stating the limits within which the Inland Rules of the Road apply, shall be used 

 wherever it is found impracticable to use the line. 



BREAKERS (A-12, 0-25) 



The word "Breakers" is used instead of the breaker symbol except in small, uncongested 

 areas. Extensive breakers are shown by a dashed line with the word "Breakers" along the 

 inshore side.
