ā¢ Which U.S. publication describes coastal navigation information such as anchorages, channels, and regulations
ā¢ Which publication focuses mainly on lights, buoys, and aids to navigation data
š Think About
ā¢ Which of these publications is produced specifically for U.S. coastal waters like Long Island Sound and includes regulatory info, anchorages, and channels?
ā¢ Which publication is primarily a tabular listing of lights and other aids, and not detailed coastal descriptions?
ā¢ Which publication is more about ocean routing and wind/climate patterns over large areas rather than local harbors and channels?

Before You Answer
ā¢ Match the key words: channels, anchorages, navigation regulations, landmarks with the publication whose purpose fits those topics
ā¢ Eliminate the option that mainly lists aids to navigation (lights, buoys, daybeacons) without descriptive coastal text
ā¢ Eliminate the option that is aimed at ocean passages and routing rather than detailed information for a specific coastal area like Long Island Sound
