The U.S. Coast Guard has updated its list of water zones where special rules apply for safety, security, and local regulations. These zones restrict where boats can go and what activities are allowed in certain waterways to protect people, prevent accidents, and manage maritime traffic.
Key Points
- 1The Coast Guard designated specific areas of water as safety zones, security zones, or special local regulation zones where boating is restricted or controlled
- 2These zones may prohibit or limit boat traffic, require special permits, or establish rules for how vessels can operate in those areas
- 3The regulation updates listings from the third quarter of 2021, providing current information about which waterways have active restrictions
- 4Boat owners and operators must follow the rules in these designated zones to avoid fines and safety violations
- 5Restrictions typically exist around ports, military installations, bridges, dams, and areas where public events occur
