USCG Waterways Analysis Meeting for South Louisiana
The Coast Guard will host a public meeting on Aug. 6 at the Greater La Fourche Port Commission office in Galliano, La., at 6 p.m. regarding a Waterways Analysis and Management System (WAMS) review of district waterways. Chief Petty Officer Randy Ryan, officer in charge of Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Team Dulac, La., will conduct a WAMS review of Bayou La Fourche, Belle Pass, Southwest Louisiana Canal, and Caminada Bay. WAMS comprehensively analyzes the quality of each waterway’s navigation system. During this process, the Coast Guard contacts waterway users for their input and feedback and welcomes comments on the Aids to Navigation system at any time, independent of the WAMS. The Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Team Dulac evaluates recommendations for changes to the navigation system.
