The Coast Guard is setting up a temporary safety zone around the M/V CAPE RACE and its towing vessels while it moves from the Charleston Harbor Entrance Channel to the Detyens Shipyard in North Charleston, SC. This safety zone covers a 100-yard radius and is intended to protect people, vessels, and the environment from potential hazards during the operation. Vessels and people are prohibited from entering this zone unless they have permission from the Captain of the Port Charleston. The rule is in effect from November 28, 2024, and will be enforced until the M/V CAPE RACE reaches its destination.

The memorandum, issued by the Executive Office of the President, withdraws certain areas of the United States Outer Continental Shelf from being available for oil and natural gas leasing. This decision affects regions in the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic, and the Pacific, considering the protection of fragile marine ecosystems, coastal environments, and the need to mitigate climate change. The withdrawal applies indefinitely and does not impact rights under existing leases in these areas.
