Coast Guard updates coordinates for Corpus Christi security zone

The U.S. Coast Guard is updating a regulation that defines a security zone in the Port of Corpus Christi Inner Harbor in Texas. The change replaces a reference to the old Inner Harbor Bridge with specific GPS coordinates.

Why it matters: This is an administrative fix to keep federal regulations accurate. If the rule were left unchanged, it would reference a bridge that is gone, which could create confusion about where the security zone actually starts. For everyone else, there is no change in daily operations or restrictions.

Who it affects

• Boat operators and mariners using the Port of Corpus Christi Inner Harbor
