Vessels 50 feet or more but less than 100 feet / 30.5 meters in length should remain at least 1 nautical mile away from a walrus or Steller sea lion haulout. Vessels 100 feet / 30.5 meters or more in length should remain at least 3 nautical miles away from a walrus or Steller sea lion haulout. All vessels should refrain from anchoring or conducting tendering or fishing operations within 3 nautical miles of a walrus or Steller sea lion haulout. Please maintain a 1 nautical mile buffer from active walrus haulouts when loading or unloading barge cargo at Cape Newenham.
