Great Bridge Locks – Maintenance and Dive Operations

On behalf of the U S Army Corps of Engineers, contractors will begin the repair of the Great Bridge Locks Fender System located at Mile Marker 11.3 on the Atlantic Coast Intracoastal Waterway & Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal on April 15, 2024. Work is expected to be complete August 1, 2024.

Work may be conducted 7 days a week from 5 a.m. to 12 a.m. During the scheduled repairs, a crane barge, tugboat, work boats and divers will be near the Great Bridge Locks fender system.

During certain phases of the repair, the tugs, barges, work vessels and divers will reduce the horizontal clearance in the navigation span. Vessels that require tugs, barges, and work vessels to clear the navigation span should notify the project supervisor no less than one hour prior to navigation through the Great Bridge Bridge.

During dive operations within the navigational span, navigation will be on demand and vessels should notify the project supervisor no less than one hour prior to navigation through the Great Bridge Bridge.

Work vessels and supervisor can be reached on VHF-FM Channel 13 or (757) 620-3953. In the event of an emergency, please contact Chris Donnelly (757) 615-9405.

Mariners are reminded to maintain a safe distance from the working vessels and barges and are asked to use extreme caution while navigating through the area.

NOAA increases the frequency of nautical chart updates

NOAA is increasing the frequency of nautical chart updates
Electronic navigational chart updates will now be available for download Monday through Friday
NOAA electronic navigational charts (NOAA ENC®) are vector data sets that support all types of marine navigation. Originally designed for large commercial vessels, ENCs are used in computer navigation programs and mobile applications on many types of ships, including recreational vessels. NOAA ENCs provide real time ship positioning, as well as collision and grounding avoidance.
Updates for NOAA ENCs have historically been published weekly but updates are now being pushed daily, Monday through Friday. These updates include weekly Notice to Mariners corrections and additional critical changes, as well as the routine addition of newly compiled data, such as hydrographic or shoreline surveys. Critical updates include any changes that may pose a danger to navigation and that mariners should be informed of as soon as possible. This may include newly discovered rocks, wrecks, shoals, or other dangers to navigation, as well as changes in the positions or characteristics of aids to navigation (buoys, beacons, and lights). NOAA applies critical corrections to its NOAA ENC products and these updates are released as ENC revision files.
All non-critical data is categorized as “routine” and includes the results of ordinary hydrographic and shoreline surveys, which can be extensive. Routine source data is ONLY applied to NOAA ENCs and not to paper and raster nautical charts. Any specific dangers revealed during routine surveys or the application of other routine data are extracted from the data and classified as critical corrections to be applied to all products.
The chart updates viewer shows the areas that have changed on each ENC since its last new edition was published and can be found here: https://distribution.charts.noaa.gov/weekly_updates/.
NOAA ENCs may be downloaded through the Office of Coast Survey’s Chart Downloader page. These downloads are available through individual compressed files or pre-packaged compressed files here: https://charts.noaa.gov/ENCs/ENCs.shtml.
NOAA Office of Coast Survey is the nation’s nautical chart-maker. Originally formed by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807, Coast Survey updates charts, surveys the coastal seafloor, responds to maritime emergencies, and searches for underwater obstructions that pose a danger to navigation.

Catch Summer Fun and Competition at Charleston County Fishing Piers

Cast Off Fishing Tournaments are back at the Mount Pleasant and Folly Beach Piers this summer!

[CHARLESTON COUNTY] – This summer, catch fish, fun and prizes at the Mount Pleasant and Folly Beach Piers’ tournament series! The Mount Pleasant Pier will host the summer’s first Cast Off Fishing Tournament on Saturday, May 11. Then, on Saturday, May 25, the Folly Beach Pier will host its first fishing tournament of the season.

The Mount Pleasant Pier offers fishing on the Charleston Harbor and under the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. Opened in 2009, the pier is built on pilings from the old Silas N. Pearman Bridge, which have become a haven for many types of fish including red drum, spotted sea trout, flounder and sheepshead.

The Folly Beach Pier reopened in December 2022. A sight to behold, the new Folly Beach Pier stretches out 1045’ into the ocean and offers spectacular views, fishing, dining and events. Common catches off the Folly Pier include blue fish, sheepshead, spotted sea trout and whiting.

The 2024 Cast Off Fishing Tournament Schedule is:

Mount Pleasant Pier

May 11, 6 a.m. – 2 p.m.
June 15, 6 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Sept. 21, 7 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Oct. 26, 7 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Folly Beach Pier

May 25, 6 a.m. – 2 p.m.
June 22, 6 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Sept. 14, 7 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Oct. 12, 7 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Tournaments offer awards for the Biggest 3 Fish by Weight, the Biggest Youth Catch (12 and under) and the Best 5 Fish (total weight). Participants are only eligible to win one category. Tournament registration fees are $12 for ages 13 and up, $9 for members of the military, $9 for seniors (60 and up) and ages 12 and under, or $5 for fishing pass holders. Adult chaperones are required for ages 15 and under.

No pre-registration is required. On-site registration for tournaments begins the morning of the event. Parking fees are an additional charge at the Folly Pier.

Both piers offer everything an expert or a novice needs, including equipment rentals, tackle and frozen bait, plus knowledgeable staff to offer tips. The piers also provide snack bars, gift shops and restrooms. Tournaments are held rain or shine. Anglers of all experience levels are encouraged to slap on some sunscreen and head out for some good-spirited competition!

For additional details on the piers or the tournaments, call the Folly Beach Pier at (843) 762-9516, the Mount Pleasant Pier at (843) 762-9946, or visit CharlestonCountyParks.com.
