Ice breaking operations are being conducted to assist with the arrival of a ship delivering coal. Persons are reminded that ice-breaking operations make ice recreation especially hazardous. All shanties should be removed from areas in the vicinity of the shipping channel prior to this date and all fisherman, snowmobilers, and other interested parties should stay well clear of the shipping channel while ice breaking is taking place. ### Editors note: Media inquiries may be directed to the Coast Guard Group Milwaukee Duty Officer at (414) 747-7182.
