A bit unusual: three reductions of depth/new drying heights. Two on the edge of Blacktail Spit (off Shoeburyness) between the South Shoebury SHB and the Blacktail Spit SHB and one drying height at the Deben Entrance. I notice the source is from the Environment Agency NOT from Trinity House. I suspect this might not be immediately recent and we should wait for the details from Trinity House which will be announced by East Coast Pilot as soon as they have the new chartlet. Note the image at the Deben will be out of date, it is merely used to show where the drying height is recorded.
