NOAA has informed the U.S. Coast Guard of two obstructions in the Corpus Christi Inner Harbor:
The first obstruction rises 1.6 m from the sea floor, has an obstruction depth of 44 feet, and is within the Viola Turning Basin located at or near 27 deg. 50’ 44.6”N, 097 deg. 31’ 14.6”W.
The second obstruction rises approximately 4 meters from the sea floor, has an obstruction depth of 29 feet, and is located 5 meters north of the Corpus Christi Ship Main Turning Basin Channel at or near 27 deg. 48’ 51.6”N, 097 deg. 24’ 48.2”W.
The U.S. Coast Guard is communicating with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to track removal plans. There are no current traffic restrictions regarding these obstructions, however mariners are urged to use extreme caution when transiting near these obstructions. Additional Marine Safety Information Bulletins will be posted if future surveys show that the obstructions have moved, if removal options are scheduled, if any traffic restrictions are put in place, or if a Port Coordination Team call is initiated.
