TAMPA, Fla. -- The Coast Guard opened all commercial ports along Florida's west coast

Friday following Hurricane Matthew.

Capt. Holly L. Najarian, Captain of the Port, opened the ports of Tampa, Big Bend,

Bocca Grande, Bradenton, Cedar Key, Charlotte, East Bay, Egmont Key, Fort Myers Beach,

Fowey Rocks, Hillsborough Bay, Manatee, Port Manatee, Port Sutton, Rattlesnake, Rock-

port, Sand Key, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, and Weedon Island.

"Vessel and facility operators are recommended to exercise caution before entering

a storm-damaged area and should be alert for debris or pollution in the water while transit-

ing," said Lt. Cmdr. Brittany Poley, contingency planning force readiness chief at Sector St.

Petersburg. "The public should heed all warnings including small craft advisories, marine

safety broadcasts from emergency workers and safety officials. Although weather condi-

tions may appear favorable, rip tides and high surf may continue to impact beaches and

inlets and sea state may remain high."

Mariners should not completely rely on the position of the aids after a storm, until

Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Teams and cutters are able to verify and reposition them.

Navigational aids may be moved or destroyed by heavy weather. Mariners are asked to re-
