Question 1036Navigation General

The correct answer is D) It gives the mariner time to prepare for weather changes. Weather bulletins provide important information about current and forecasted weather conditions that can help mariners make informed decisions about their voyages. By having advance notice of potential weather changes, mariners can take appropriate actions to prepare their vessels, alter their routes, or postpone their trips if necessary. This allows them to navigate more safely and avoid potentially hazardous weather conditions. The other answer choices are incorrect because A) weather bulletins do not provide legal reasons to cancel voyages, B) they are still valuable despite weather changes, and C) they do not allow for long-term forecasting, which is inherently difficult for maritime weather.
