Effective immediately, the Captain of the Port (COTP) New Orleans has reopened all waterways without restrictions. 

Mariner information: Although waterways are open to traffic, serious shoaling, storm debris, and other hazards may still exist. Mariners must be mindful of their vessel wake, as flooding conditions may exist in many communities near waterways. Aids to Navigation may also be damaged or missing. Mariners transiting the area should use caution, and report any Aids to Navigation damage or other waterways issues to Sector New Orleans Command Center at (504) 365-2200.
