The predicted level of Highest Astronomical

Tide (HAT) is 2.26 m above Lowest
Astronomical Tide (LAT). The LAT is used
here as Chart Datum (CD).
(CD) Mean Sea Level
(MSL) is hence 1.14 m above CD.

Accessibilityconsiderations:
Provide text alternatives for non-text elements such as charts and images.
Dont rely on colour alone. If you remove the colour, is the presentation still
understandable? Do colour combinations have sufficient contrast? Do the colours work
for the colour blind (red/green)?
Ensure that time-sensitive content can be controlled by the user (e.g. pausing of
animated graphics).
