The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local regulation (SLR) for specific waters of the Choptank River near Cambridge, Maryland. This rule creates a restricted zone during power boat racing events scheduled for August 29 and August 30, 2026.
Why it matters: This is a routine administrative action with a very narrow scope. It does not change long-term boating rules or alter general navigation rights on the Choptank River. Its only practical impact is that anyone planning to be on the water near Cambridge on those two specific dates must check for official notices to avoid violating federal regulations.

- Boaters and recreational users of the Choptank River near Cambridge, MD
