USCG Notices — what the Coast Guard posted near you. Local Notices to Mariners are published weekly, per district, as PDFs. Boater Briefer now pulls the ones within 10 nm of your position and leads with a plain-language summary: shoaling, safety zones, missing and moved buoys, regattas and fireworks — each with distance and bearing from where you are. • The full list, curated. Tap through for every notice, ranked with the most serious first, filtered by category if you want. • The Coast Guard's own words. Every notice opens to its original text, unedited. • Honest about what it knows. Notices whose position is only approximate say so, rather than dropping a pin that looks precise. Offline with nothing cached reads as "unavailable", never as "nothing here". Advisory information only — not a substitute for monitoring VHF Channel 16. Also: faster, steadier briefing audio, and support for Android 16.
