The Coast Guard will block off parts of San Diego Bay for two days in December 2025
What happened
The Coast Guard will enforce special local regulations in San Diego Bay on two days in December 2025. This means vessels cannot anchor, block, or loiter in a specific area without permission during the San Diego Parade of Lights.
Why it matters
This is a routine, temporary regulation for a specific event. It ensures public safety during a parade by controlling boat traffic. It does not change any long-term rules or create new precedents for waterway use.
The signal
There is nothing specific to watch beyond the successful execution of the parade and the temporary enforcement of these rules.
