Name: Coastal Buoy Modernization Candidate (USCG Proposal September 2025)
Display Field: AID_NAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint
Description: The U.S. Coast Guard received nearly 3,000 public comments on the Coastal Buoy Modernization Proposal (CBMP) posted in April 2025, enabling the Coast Guard to assess and adjust Proposed changes. Because of this feedback, the course of action changed for more than half of the original CBMP buoys:
<br/> <br/>
121 aids were removed from proposed discontinuation. 71 aids remain proposed for discontinuation with supporting changes to nearby buoys (relocations, lighting, sound signal additions and/or AIS virtual AtoNs). 162 buoys remain proposed for discontinuation without additional proposed changes
<br/> <br/>
This layer shows the revised changes proposed in September 2025. Click on each candidate buoy to view its name and Light List Number Record (LLNR).
<br/>
Public comments can be submitted to the Coast Guard on the revised CBMP in writing, either personally or through their organization by <b>November 15, 2025</b>. To best align feedback to the Proposal Update data needs, please include: the formal aid name (with LLNR; see instructions above), your vessel type (recreational or commercial), and how you use the specific signal to locate good water in relation to hazards, shifting shoals, strong currents, narrow passages/entrances or reduced visibility, along with any additional nearby buoy signal changes you recommend. Refer to Project No. 01-25-015 and submit directly in the body of the email (in lieu of .pdf/excel attachments) to maximize analysis effectiveness (D01-SMB-DPWPublicComments@uscg.mil).
