Great Lakes boaters get updated maps for annual events

The Coast Guard wants to update its rules for where boats can and cannot go during certain annual events in the Eastern Great Lakes. This is a routine administrative change meant to keep people safe during things like fireworks displays or boat races.

This is a routine administrative update to existing safety regulations. It does not change how the Coast Guard sets safety zones, only where they apply for specific annual events. No structural shift in authority or enforcement is proposed.
