The Coast Guard can now close waters around Mar-A-Lago when the President visits

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary security zone in the waters near the Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. This means they can restrict access to the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway when the President or other Secret Service protectees are present.

This rule formalizes the Coast Guard's ability to create a temporary exclusion zone around Mar-A-Lago. It gives them a clear legal basis to enforce security measures in the water, similar to existing zones around other presidential residences. This makes it harder for boats to get close to the property during presidential visits.
