NY: Moriches Bay, shoaling
- Date Reported: Feb 8, 2023
- Reporter: Ted Stehle
- Source: CG 1st District LNM 0106/23
- Description:
Severe shoaling is present in Moriches Bay along the Long Island Intracoastal Waterway in the
vicinity of Moriches Bay Buoys 21, 24, 26, 27, 28, and 29 extending the entire width of the channel
at nearly all tide levels. The area from Buoys 24 to 29 is only navigable at the operator’s risk.
The most severe area of shoaling can be found between buoys 26 and 28 and is less than half the
charted channel depth in some areas. Mariners should be aware that the Aids to Navigation in these
areas are unreliable due to shoaling and mariners are strongly advised to seek alternate routes.
Moriches Bay dredging has been completed. - Lat / Lon: N 40° 46.941' / W 072° 44.814'
