Survey operations
A research or survey vessel is mapping the seabed or water column, often while towing equipment.
Until further notice
The operation or danger has no scheduled end; the warning stays in force until a later message cancels it.
Area bound by
Introduces a list of positions that are the corners of an area — the polygon the warning applies to.

Wide berth requested
