The Coast Guard can now block boats from a specific part of Laguna Madre, Texas

The Coast Guard is creating a temporary "safety zone" in a section of Laguna Madre, South Padre Island, Texas. This means no one can enter that area without permission when fireworks are being launched from a barge.

This is a small, temporary change that gives the Coast Guard specific authority to clear an area for a fireworks display. It prevents boats and people from getting too close to potential hazards. These kinds of temporary zones are common for events that could pose a risk to public safety on navigable waters.
