Summary

The Coast Guard proposes to establish a security zone that encompasses certain waters of the Lake Worth Lagoon, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean in the vicinity of the Mar-a-Lago Club and the Southern Boulevard Bridge in Palm Beach, Florida (FL). This proposed rule would be enforced during visits by the President of the United States, members of the First Family, or other persons under the protection of the Secret Service. This action is necessary to protect the official party, the public, and the surrounding waterway from terrorist acts, sabotage or other subversive acts, accidents, or other causes of a similar nature. Entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within this security zone while it is being enforced would be prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Miami or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rule.
