Coast Guard sets temporary security zone in Santa Monica Bay for World Cup

Table of Contents
The Coast Guard has established a temporary security zone in the waters of Santa Monica Bay, just offshore from Los Angeles International Airport. This area covers all water from the surface to the bottom within specific coordinates near the airport.
Why it matters: This action restricts boat traffic in a busy area of Los Angeles Harbor for about a month. While it does not ban all boating, it adds a layer of approval required for anyone trying to operate a vessel in that specific patch of water during the event window.
Who it affects
- Boat operators and recreational mariners in Santa Monica Bay
This rule was published by the U.S. Coast Guard in the Federal Register; check the original document for exact coordinates and contact information if you plan to operate a vessel in this area.
