A Notice to Mariners advises mariners of important matters affecting navigational safety, including new hydrographic information, changes in channels, and aids to navigation, and other important data.
The notice consists of important items, such as a chart correction section, a publications correction section, and a summary of broadcast navigation warnings and miscellaneous information.  This information is made available weekly by the Port Department prepared jointly with the Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) and the Meteorological Office.
 

These and other navigational warnings to ships are aired over the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas.  Additionally, all notices are posted in the local newspapers and are also placed on The Bahamas Government Portal.
