What is published by the U.S. Coast Guard?

A Tide Tables
B Nautical Charts
C Light List
D U.S. Coast Pilot
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Light List. The U.S. Coast Guard publishes the Light List, which is a catalog of all the navigational lights, buoys, and other aids to navigation along the coasts of the United States. This publication is essential for mariners to safely navigate the waterways and is required to be carried on board vessels operating under a U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License. The other options, while also important publications for mariners, are not directly published by the U.S. Coast Guard. Tide Tables and Nautical Charts are published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Coast Pilot is a series of nautical reference books published by NOAA as well.
