The Coast Guard is making changes to a temporary safety zone in West Passage, Narragansett Bay, Jamestown, RI. These changes include extending the safety zone's effective period to January 31, 2025, and updating the name of the cable laying vessel involved in operations. This safety zone ensures the safety of personnel and vessels from hazards associated with cable laying. Unauthorized entry into the safety zone is prohibited during active cable operations unless specifically allowed by the Captain of the Port, Sector Southeastern New England.
Simple Explanation
The Coast Guard is making a special rule to keep a part of the ocean safe near Jamestown, Rhode Island, while a big undersea cable is being put down. This rule means boats and people can't go into that area without special permission until January 2025, to make sure everyone is safe.
