shen, go look it up **if** you know how, and see just what the CG or C of E
says. but what do they know, right?
Why would I look under the USCG for their comments? First off, I can't see
where they'd care one way or the other. Secondly, I'm not sure under what part
of the USCG it would be covered .... mayhaps, in your infinite wisdom you could
direct me to the relevant USCG pub, etc. that states such.
As for the Corp, they can and will call it anything their engineering
responsibilities may dictate as advantageous to them.
I.e., I wouldn't call either of your above sources, as the "final word" for the
purposes of this discussion.
Now, if you'd included NOAA......
There is a gate there and it is open most of the time. the purpose of the
gate
is to slow movement of salty ocean water into less salty bay water. I believe
sometimes it is left open and does not then serve its intended purpose.
Your description and the Coast Pilot description seem to vary..... can you
explain that?
btw, for several miles south of the canal is very shallow Hamptons Bay, which
was a swamp until the Hurricane of 1938.
......And this has what to do with the price of tea?.... or is this a vain
attempt to impress us with your local knowledge?
