đ Key Concepts
⢠Chart symbols and abbreviations for special areas (anchorage, fish traps, restricted areas, military areas)
⢠How buoy labels (letters/numbers and colors) relate to specific charted zones
⢠Use of the chart legend and notes to identify special use areas
đ Think About
⢠Look at the charted area between buoys C51, C47A, M6, and M14 and identify any boundary lines, shading, or labels inside that polygonâwhat use is written there?
⢠Compare the symbols and notes in that area with the chartâs legend. Which of the four options matches the legend description for that symbol?
⢠Ask yourself: are the "C" and "M" buoys marking just the channel, or are they also forming a boundary around a specially designated area?

Before You Answer
⢠Identify all symbols and text within the four-buoy boundary (e.g., labels like "exploration", "naval", "fish", "ammo", or abbreviations that hint at them).
⢠Confirm in the chart legend what the specific pattern, shading, or line type in that area stands for before matching it to an answer choice.
⢠Verify whether the area has any accompanying note or caution box elsewhere on the chart (often near the title block) that describes limits on anchoring, fishing, or navigation.
