Lights and other marine aids to navigation maintained by or under authority of the U.S. Coast Guard and located on waters used by general navigation are described in the 7 volumes of the U.S. Light List. The Light List describes many aids to navigation owned or maintained by private entities; however, not all such aids are described.
This Light List is annually published in electronic format and is intended to furnish more information concerning aids to navigation than can be conveniently shown on charts (U.S. Coast Guard Light List volumes can be found US Coast Guard Navigation Center website (USCG Light Lists). This Light List is not intended to be used in place of charts or the United States Coast Pilot®. Charts should be consulted for the location of all aids to navigation. It may be dangerous to use aids to navigation without reference to charts.
This list is corrected to the date of the notices to mariners shown on the title page. Changes to aids to navigation during the year are advertised in U.S. Coast Guard Local Notices to Mariners and an updated list is posted every week on the USCG and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Maritime Safety Office’s Websites. Important changes to aids to navigation may also be broadcast through Coast Guard or Naval radio stations and NAVTEX. Mariners should keep their Light Lists corrected from these notices and should consult all notices issued after the date of publication of this Light List. Additionally, the U.S. Coast Guard maintains weekly updated Light Lists corrected through the current LNM week and are available in XML and PDF on the Weekly Light List Page of the U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center (NAVCEN) website.
