The Coast Guard can now ban boats from a specific part of Tampa Bay

The Coast Guard is creating a temporary safety zone in Tampa Bay for a high-speed boat race. This means no vessels or people can enter this specific area without permission from the Captain of the Port.

The Coast Guard regularly establishes temporary safety zones for events like boat races. These zones protect participants and the public from potential dangers. This specific rule ensures that the race can proceed safely without interference from other marine traffic.
