Table of Contents
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone in the navigable waters of the Laguna Madre near South Padre Island, Texas. This zone will be active during an over-water fireworks display.
Why it matters: This is a standard, routine safety measure. It is mostly administrative and ensures that spectators and boaters do not get too close to pyrotechnics in the water. It does not change long-term regulations or funding.
Who it affects
- Boaters and vessel operators in the Laguna Madre
The U.S. Coast Guard published this rule in the Federal Register; check the original document for specific dates, times, and geographic coordinates of the zone.
