Reading this warning

DNC (Digital Nautical Chart)
A reference to one of the regions of NGA's Digital Nautical Chart, used to tell the reader which charts a warning affects.
Scientific mooring
Instruments anchored to the seabed and held up by floats, sometimes just below the surface, left for months to measure the ocean.
Until further notice
The operation or danger has no scheduled end; the warning stays in force until a later message cancels it.
Position (degrees and minutes)
How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
Wide berth requested
Keep well clear — or, when a distance is given ("TWO MILE BERTH REQUESTED"), at least that far away.
