Sea Navigation

Sea navigation is the process of determining a vessel's position and plotting its course over water. This involves using tools like charts, compasses, and GPS systems. Navigators rely on celestial navigation (using stars), landmarks, and modern technology to ensure safe passage and avoid hazards. Understanding currents, tides, and weather conditions is also crucial. Successful sea navigation is essential for commercial shipping, fishing, and recreational boating, as it helps vessels reach their destinations safely and efficiently while avoiding obstacles and complying with maritime regulations.
