Fishing operations are highly active throughout the year in the waters from Irago Suido to Nakayama Suido.
In Figure 3, the main routes and time periods in which trawlers sail between fishing ports in Mikawa Bay andthe Irago Suido offshore fishing grounds are indicated by dashed lines. The routes navigated by these trawlers
intersect traffic routes taken by general vessels entering and exiting the Mikawa Port.
Additionally, fishing operations with divers are also active year-round in the coastal waters from Nojima to
Tatsuma Saki, and the small fishing vessels accompanying these diving operations fly "A" flags on their masts
while anchored.
Masters and mates on vessels intending to navigate in the waters described above should pay close attention tothese fishing vessels.
