The Coast Guard has established a temporary safety zone in the Humboldt Bay Bar Channel and the Humboldt Bay Entrance Channel in Eureka, CA, following the wreckage of a fishing vessel. This rule, effective January 26, 2021, through February 10, 2021, prohibits unauthorized piloted vessels from the safety zone to ensure safe navigation and protect the maritime environment. The decision was made without prior public notice due to the urgency of the situation. Authorized vessels can enter the zone only with permission from the Captain of the Port or a designated Coast Guard representative.
Simple Explanation
The Coast Guard made a temporary rule to keep big boats with pilots away from a part of Humboldt Bay in California because a fishing boat sank there and they don't know where it is. This helps make sure everyone is safe while they figure out where the sunken boat is hiding.
