1. Two in one here. UKHO have published an amended depth over a wreck in the Mouse Channel (bottom of the Barrow Deep) reducing the depth from 3m to 2.7m. Tonight Trinity House has published a notice saying that it is moving the Barrow Deep No 12 to the East (quite a little way) and placing an isolated danger mark over the wreck (which is the Alice Marie). Illustration on the web site of course.
2. North Hinder - a single cardinal marking a wreck has been replaced by four cardinal marks (one of each).
3. New wave recorder buoy new the Oostendbank N buoy.
4. A (P) notice from UKHO talking of various reductions in depths on the approaches to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth causing them to reissue charts 1534 and 1535 on 2nd April and 1543 mid 2015 and 106 in late 2015. No details of the reductions are given. I will watch the leisure notices to see if anything useful is issued.

Temporary

1. Detail of the Trinity House NtM discussed above;
2. Gravesend Reach, Tolbury RoRo, new mooring dophins being installed;
3. Hoo Island West Pier upper section has been demolished, concrete pilings still in the water, visible at all states of the tide;
4. Notice from the Crouch Harbour Master about the intention to breach the sea wall at Wallesea in 3 places;
5. Lost fishing gear at Sierra Ventana N in Belgium waters north of Zeebrugge. Depth means this shouldn't trouble leisure craft;
6. Seabed obstruction north of Zeebrugge on the Schooneveld (on the 10m contour line.

That is it.
