Coastal Aid

A mark placed on the coast to assist coastal navigation. Particularly used with reference to marks placed on a long straight coastline devoid of many natural landmarks.

Note: In French, a lighted coastal mark is called Feu de Jalonnement (2-5-055).




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
