| Notes | Although there are two potential openings in the breakwater on the north of Yaquina Bay, there is no approved Federal channel that passes through the breakwater. There is interest in a possible passage through the breakwater, and the Portland District of the Army Corps of Engineers is interested in exploring this possibility. “[S]taff were interested in historical vessel transits, with a special focus on isolating transits for the largest (i.e., longest) vessels, identified as vessels 80 feet or longer, currently utilizing the area inside the breakwater. The Automatic Identification System Analysis Package (AISAP) software . . . was used to analyze vessel traffic” (p.1). An interesting look at the movement of large vessels in the bay. |
