The Coast Guard is calling off its plan to remove several navigation buoys near the Vineyard and throughout the northeast following strong public pushback. 

Cynthia Sullivan died Thursday night due to the injuries she sustained from the fire and the swim she made to the small island on Monday from the burning boat, son Chris Sullivan said in a social media post.

A family of three swam to the small island and sought refuge in a barn after the fire broke out in their boat off the Vineyard.

A person who was pulled from rough waters off Woods Hole by the U.S. Coast Guard Monday was brought to the hospital with injuries that were considered not life-threatening, according to public safety officials. 

The Coast Guard is looking to remove 162 buoys in the northeast, and potentially combine several others.

After taking in thousands of comments, the U.S. Coast Guard is making changes to a plan to remove hundreds of navigation buoys in the northeast.
