• Deben Entrance Sketchmap

    The Mid Knoll Buoy has been moved to position: 51° 58.759N 001° 23.411E. This is due to the Deben bar shingle bank migrating towards the West. The Deben bar is on the move with particular concerns being raised over the middle section of the Knolls (North of Mid Knoll Buoy). The bank on the middle section knoll intrudes into the channel and various yachts have gone aground on the knoll on the ebb tide.

Welcome to Eastcoastrivers.com

We now have a portfolio of free sketchmaps, extending from Southwold to Brightlingsea. Welcome aboard all new users that have found us through these new publications and we would of course particularly like to thank the new sponsors who have made the print publication of these sketchmaps possible.

This year has been particularly challenging with major changes in the Ore Entrance over 2010 and more recently notable shoal movements into the main channel in the Deben. Donations to this service will allow us to conduct an intermediate survey of the Deben entrance shortly to establish exactly what the shoals are doing.
