1. The NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) was contacted by the NOAA Office of Coast Survey (OCS) Pacific Hydrographic Branch (PHB) concerning the sinking of the fishing vessel DAS BUG near the Yaquina Bay jetty entrance in Newport, Oregon on 8/10/25. The Investigations Division at USCG Sector Columbia River has requested OSC assistance with locating and imaging the vessel on the seabed. The Navigation Response Team is heading to Newport tomorrow (8/20/25) to facilitate a multi-beam survey onboard the R/V BAILEY to hopefully find and acquire sonar over the sunken vessel. OCS is requesting NOAA OR&R's assistance in refining the search area for the vessel.

Not for navigation. The name is read automatically from official navigational warnings; a common name can belong to more than one ship, and a message may describe work the vessel is doing (cable, survey) rather than something that happened to it. Mariners must use official NAVAREA broadcasts and their national MSI service.
