This is an area direct in line with the Quarters and is often sailed. Note that in week 27 of 2019 an oyster laying further closer to the shore was established and was and is clearly marked. At present I do not know if this ‘warning’ is just associated with the marked area or whether new obstructions have been found. |

ENGLAND - Oyster spat frames, marked by yellow buoys, have been established on the seabed in the following positions: 51° 48´·038N., 1° 00´·759E. 51° 48´·30N., 1° 02´·32E. Mariners are advised to navigate with caution in the area. Base image courtesy of Imray ID10 Chart C1 and Meridian Chartware |

The creation of two Oyster Spat Trays in Brightlingsea were notified in Week 29 and was included in the Temporary List in Week 29. UKHO are now adding this Temporary list. I cannot make sense for the first position as this marks the ‘buoy’ (a huge exaggeration of a description) close to but ‘outside’ the Tide Gauge at Brightlingsea and just in the channel. However, having actually seen the ‘buoy’, it is ‘out of the way’ in both the sense that it is Brightlingsea side of the Gauge and outside of the entrance channel. I could make no sense of the positions quoted in the Temporary notice so probably UKHO have been supplied with slightly incorrect lat/long. |

The buoy has never been moved (apart when it goes walkies) but the annotation had never caught up with the ‘official’ position. Now I may be a little mystified and may have confused myself! When I did three surveys in July last year (2019), the position of the Ray Sand Middle was (in my view) 51° 40´·00N., 0° 59´·50E. But when the Crouch Harbour Authority reported that the Middle SWM went off station on October they quoted the position FROM which it moved as 51° 40´·00N., 0° 59´·00E – which in my view where it had been. I guess an early trip in May? The relevance I would suggest is that the 0° 59´·00E meridian has the highest drying height on the Ray Sand just south of the now quoted position. See my download page for the latest chartlet.
