COASTAL NAVIGATION
This chart has been produced for route planning and ocean transit outside the 200 metre depth contour. Certain lights and other navigation aids have been omitted from this chart. For inshore navigation and approaches to the coast, the larger scale charts should be consulted.

DOUBTFUL DATA
Reported but unconfirmed depths or dangers are indicated by an encircling dotted line.

DEPTH CONTOURS
The depth contours shown on this chart have been interpolated from all available information, which in ocean areas is insufficient for an accurate portrayal of the sea bottom. See density diagram.

CURRENTS
For further information on ocean currents in the area of this chart, see Admiralty Sailing Directions and Routeing Charts.

CABLES
Only transoceanic cables are shown on this chart.

MAGNETIC VARIATION CURVES ARE FOR 2005
The magnetic variation is shown in degrees, followed by the letter W or E, as appropriate, at certain positions on the curves. The annual change is expressed in minutes with the letter W or E and is given in brackets, immediately following the variation.
