The US Coast Guard closes a bay for Army helicopter jumps

The US Coast Guard is temporarily closing a section of Black River Bay in Sackets Harbor, NY. This is to protect people and boats during an Army exercise where soldiers jump from helicopters into the water.

This small, temporary closure shows how different military branches coordinate their training. The Coast Guard has the authority to restrict public access to waterways for safety, even for routine military drills. These kinds of temporary zones are common for military exercises near civilian areas.
