🔍 Key Concepts

• Review the chart symbols and notes around Chesapeake Light and the area three miles northeast of it • Look for any charted cautions or prohibited / dangerous areas (e.g., dumping grounds, mine areas, wreck symbols, sanctuaries) • Recall how wrecks, sanctuaries, coral areas, and mine danger areas are each shown or labeled on U.S. charts

💭 Think About

• On a standard NOAA chart, which of the listed hazards would most likely cause you to completely avoid anchoring, even if there seems to be room? • If you were plotting a route near Chesapeake Light, which of these features would be emphasized in the chart’s cautionary notes or boxed warnings in that northeast sector? • Think about which of these four is historically associated with offshore approaches and former military activity along the U.S. East Coast.

✅ Before You Answer

• On a real chart, verify any cautionary notes or boxed warnings near Chesapeake Light and specifically three miles NE • Confirm the standard chart symbol and labeling for each choice: wrecks, marine sanctuaries, coral protection areas, and mine danger areas • Check whether the area three miles NE of Chesapeake Light is overprinted with any special pattern, text, or boundary lines that signal a major restriction or hazard to anchoring
