Safety Zone Established for July 4 Fireworks at Port of Los Angeles Berth 46

The Coast Guard has created a temporary safety zone in San Pedro Bay, Los Angeles, to protect people and vessels during a fireworks display. The restricted area covers all navigable waters within a 600-foot radius of the pier at Berth 46.

Why it matters: This is a routine maritime safety measure rather than a new policy or long-term regulation. Its practical significance is limited to preventing boat traffic from interfering with the fireworks launch and protecting spectators on the water from falling debris or accidents during the one-hour window.

Who it affects

• Boat operators and mariners navigating San Pedro Bay near Berth 46 on July 4, 2026.
