Navigate the intricate and productive waters of Prince Edward Island’s most expansive northern inlet with the precision of CHS Nautical Chart 4491. Providing high-resolution coverage of Malpeque Bay, this chart is an indispensable resource for mariners, commercial fishers, and aquaculture operators. Famous worldwide for its premium oysters, Malpeque Bay is a complex maritime environment characterized by vast tidal flats, shifting sandbars, and a network of sheltered islands, requiring the expert hydrographic data found only in official Canadian Hydrographic Service documents.
Chart 4491 features detailed mapping of the bay’s primary entrance at the Malpeque Harbour bar and the protective barrier of Hog Island. It offers critical data for navigating the deep-water channels that wind between Lennox Island, Bird Island, and Curtis Island. Whether you are a commercial oyster fisher navigating the leased grounds of March Water, a recreational boater exploring the March Water or Richmond Bay basins, or a researcher studying the bay's unique ecosystem, this chart provides the soundings, navigational aids, and shoreline detail necessary for safe pilotage.
Key Features include:
Comprehensive Bay Coverage: Detailed mapping of the entire Malpeque Bay system, including March Water, Richmond Bay, and the various river estuaries.
Hydrographic Accuracy: Features precise depth soundings and seabed composition essential for navigating the shallow, tide-sensitive channels and sand flats.
Navigational Infrastructure: Clearly identifies the Lennox Island wharves, the Malpeque Harbour range lights, and the seasonal buoyage required for safe entry through the shifting outer bar.
Aquaculture & Coastal Detail: Meticulously records the contours of the North Prince County coastline and the barrier beach systems protecting the bay from the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Professional Grade: Produced to the rigorous standards of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) for professional navigation, maritime safety, and GIS spatial analysis.
