Tampa Bay's Seddon Channel will be closed for a military conference

The US Coast Guard is closing a section of Tampa Bay's Seddon Channel. This means no boats or people can enter the area during the 2026 Special Operation Forces Week Conference.

This is a temporary closure for a specific event. It shows how local waterways can be restricted for security purposes during large gatherings. These types of temporary zones are common for high-profile events involving military or government officials.
