The Coast Guard will close a patch of ocean for an airshow. In 2026.

The Coast Guard will temporarily close a small area of the Atlantic Ocean near Atlantic City, NJ. This is to ensure safety during an offshore airshow scheduled for three days in May 2026.

This is a routine safety measure for a specific, temporary event. It does not change any long-term rules, costs, or operational procedures for anyone. The restriction is temporary and localized, so it has no lasting structural impact on how waterways are managed or how events are regulated.
