A small stretch of the Maumee River will be closed for a paddle event

The Coast Guard wants to create a new rule that closes a specific part of the Maumee River during a paddle event. This means boats and people will not be allowed in that area unless the Coast Guard gives them special permission.

This is a very small, local change. It shows how the Coast Guard uses its power to manage specific events on waterways. These kinds of rules are common for ensuring safety during public events on rivers and lakes.
