A slice of the Atlantic Ocean will be off-limits for two days in 2026

The US Coast Guard will temporarily close a section of the Atlantic Ocean near Atlantic City, New Jersey. This means that for two days in June 2026, no vessels can enter that area without special permission.

This is a routine safety measure for a specific event. It ensures that a boat race can proceed without interference from other marine traffic. These temporary rules are common for events on navigable waters.
