The U.S. Coast Guard is bringing back its plan to remove navigational aids in Northeast waters, though with a substantially reduced number of buoys under review, compared with an earlier iteration. After receiving some 3,000 public comments over a plan to remove roughly 350 buoys from waterways, the Coast Guard is proposing to remove just 233 now. “The CBMP update seeks to balance the use of physical aids with other navigation tools.”In April, the Coast Guard announced plans to discontinue hundreds of buoys — out of 5,600 in the Northeast — in an attempt to modernize waterways. Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren, the Coast Guard announced it would delay the project while taking comments under consideration. The Coast Guard has also reopened public comment, with feedback due on Nov. 15.
