HOMELAND SECURITY
The events of 9/11 changed how and where the recreational boater may operate in certain areas.
- Boaters are prohibited from coming within 100 yards of any Naval vessel, and if within 500 yards, you must slow your boat to “No wake speed”.
- Additionally, you are not allowed to anchor under bridges.
- Report suspicious behavior, or potential threats, by calling 1-877-24WATCH. If in doubt, or it is an emergent situation, call 911 or use channel 16 VHF-FM.
