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. Navy vessel.
• 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 United States Coast Guard
officially 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 or 877-24WATCH
(877-249-2824). If there is immediate danger to
life or property call 911 or the USCG on marine
channel 16.
Safety Label Locations
Mounted at key locations throughout the boat, safety
labels advise the owner/operator of imperative
safety precautions to follow when operating and/or
servicing equipment. Do not remove or obstruct any
label. Replace any label which becomes illegible (see
Label Locations in this chapter).
