Permanent

1. ENGLAND - East Coast - Dunwich Bank E - Wreck. - a new wreck about 12nm east of Southwold but at 25m so unlikely to be a problem to us;
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Thames Tidal Barrier - Depths. - 4 new reduced depths to the west of the Thames Barrier - north side of the River. Clearly a 'bank' is building towards the channel of the river;
3. ENGLAND - South East Coast - Isle of Thanet NE - Buoyage. - Two new wave recorder light buoys north-east and south of the Thanet Wind Farm.

Temporary

1. Trinity House have published a notice about DGPS - basically how it works and can be vulnerable;
2. A temporary experimental buoy has been placed in the Cork Hole (the usual experimental space) - called 'Trial' it is an East Cardinal Buoy of no navigational significance - other than hitting it!;
3. River Crouch - Whitaker Channel and Swallowtail to be precise - the Swallowtail West cardinal buoy is off station at present. Would need care I would suggest.
4. Lowestoft Bascule Bridge closed: 2 nights 23rd and 24th January. No small boat openings. 29th January to 14th February - 17 nights. No small boat openings but they might accommodate along with a special 2 hour window of opening for shipping if possible. See details at: http://www.crossingthethamesestuary.com/page9.html in the Temporary list.
5. Extension to Closure of Rockland Boat Dike & Rockland Staithe on the Broads until Friday 3rd February;
6. Port of Wells - dredging;
7. Now got the detail of last weeks Broads NtM - Dredging work in Haddiscoe New Cut 13 February 2017 to 31 March 2017 - some detail in the NtM about the restrictions in the Temporary list.

That's it.
