STURGEON BAY — The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Mobile Bay will begin icebreaking operations Monday in Green Bay.

The cutter will enter Green Bay at Sherwood Point Light and travel northwest toward Green Island and along Lake Carriers Association shipping tracks to Rock Island Passage and Porte Des Morts, according to the Coast Guard.

Operations also will take place in and around Sturgeon Bay and Escanaba, Mich.

Ice fisherman should remove ice shacks and equipment from these areas, and recreational users of the ice should avoid shipping channels, plan carefully and use caution near the ice.
