Coast Guard Lists Temporary Water Restrictions From Late 2025

The Coast Guard has published a quarterly list of temporary safety and security zones that were put into effect between October and December 2025. These rules cover specific areas in ports, rivers, and coastal waters across the United States.

Why it matters: This list serves as a compliance record for actions that had already occurred. It ensures that temporary restrictions are documented in the Federal Register even when advance publication was not possible. If you operate a vessel in these locations during the specified dates, this confirms that the restrictions were legally adopted and enforced.

Who it affects

• Boat operators, mariners, and commercial shipping companies navigating in the listed ports and waterways.
