Boston Light, America’s First Aid to Navigation, now 300 years old.

Marine Link has an OP/ED by “Michael D. Emerson is Director, Marine Transportation Systems & Senior Arctic Policy Advisor for the U.S. Coast Guard” concerning developments in Marine Aids to Navigation.

It touches on the need to replace the Inland Tender fleet, but it primarily focuses on the increased use of Automated Information Systems.

If you are not current on how the Coast Guard is changing AtoN its worth the read.
