Boats must stay clear of July 4th fireworks on the Cooper River

The Coast Guard will enforce special rules for boats on the Cooper River during July 4th fireworks events in 2025. This means vessels must follow directions from the Coast Guard to ensure safety in the regulated areas.

These are routine safety measures for public events on waterways. They ensure that large gatherings, like fireworks displays, can happen without boats getting too close to the action or each other. This kind of regulation is standard practice for any major marine event.
