    The document is an activity sheet from PNTC Colleges containing questions and answers about voyage planning. It discusses tidal stream charts, which show tidal current direction, speed, and how they change between spring and neap tides. It also defines chart datum as the depth reference level on nautical charts, which is set at the lowest astronomical tide to ensure depths are not less than charted even at low water conditions. The justification for using lowest astronomical tide as chart datum is that it guarantees a minimum water depth will always be present equal to the sounding, whereas a higher datum could result in shallower actual depths than charted on occasion.

    PART 1. EVALUATE
    What are tidal stream charts and how do you use it?

    Answer:

    Drift/rate and set are terms used to characterize tidal streams, where drift/rate refers to the current's
    speed and set to the current's direction.

    The tidal diamond table includes thirteen rows and three columns for each diamond. At both spring
    and neap tides, the three columns indicate the tidal stream's bearing|set and speed|drift|rate in
    knots.
    Dir is in charge of the streams (degrees)
    Rates of spring tides (knots)

    At neap tides (Np), rates are higher (knots)

    What is a chart datum

    Answer:

    The chart datum is the plane below which all depths on a navigational chart are reported. It is also
    the plane to which all tidal heights are referred, so the true depth of water can be estimated by
    adding the tidal height to the documented depth.

    PART 2. EXTEND

    Why is the lowest astronomical tide set out to be the chart datum?

    The justification for utilizing LAT is that even at low water, there will always be at least the depth
    indicated by the soundings. Any higher datum will undoubtedly result in less water than the charted
    depth on occasion.
