COM-10 Lack of Information to Public on Water Ranges Because of competition for use of the water among recreational boaters and fishermen, sea spaces need to be cleared where restricted areas, military operating areas, and military training routes begin at the surface when active training and operations are occurring throughout the JLUS Study Area. COM- 10A DCR Coordination MAA Informational Brochure Seymour Johnson AFB should coordinate with other branches of the military to develop an informational brochure detailing boater safety in areas of military overflight over water, and water ranges including locations, hours of operation, branch of military controlling the range and contact information. Post the brochure on the Dare County page of the Seymour Johnson website per Strategy COM-1D.
