Where do these reports come from? And what is meant by shoaling? One area I noted as shoaling is always shoal. It is not even near the marked channel. I believe that any boat reporting shoaling should report the soundings, tide level at the time of the sounding, and whether they are reporting depth of the water or depth under the keel.

  Serendipity,
  We agree with you that the additional details would be very helpful. However, the source, which is identified and is the CG 5th District Notice to Mariners 24/17, did not contain that information.
