Homeland Security Restrictions
Recreational boaters have a role in keeping our
waterways safe and secure. Violators of the
restrictions below can expect a quick and severe
response.
• DO NOT approach within 100 yards, and slow
to minimum speed within 500 yards of any
U.S. Naval vessel. If you need to pass within
100 yards of a U.S. Naval vessel for safe
passage, you must contact the U.S. Naval
vessel or the Coast Guard escort vessel on
VHF-FM channel 16.
• Observe and avoid all security zones. Avoid
commercial port areas, especially those that
involve military, cruise line or petroleum
facilities. Observe and avoid other restricted
areas near dams, power plants, etc.
• DO NOT stop or anchor beneath bridges or in
channels.
America’s Waterway Watch
In March, 2005, the U.S. Coast Guard offi cially
launched
America’s Waterway Watch to encourage
the boating public to report suspicious activities
in our nation’s ports and waterways. A
merica’s
Waterway Watch simply asks anyone who works,
lives, or recreates on the water to keep an eye out for
suspicious activities. Anyone who spots such activity
is asked to call the National Response Center’s
24-hour hotline, 800-424-8802 or 877-24WATCH
(877-249-2824).
DO NOT approach within 100 yards of any U.S.
Naval vessel without fi rst contacting the vessel
on VHF-FM channel 16. To do so will result in a
quick and severe response.
