    The Coast Guard has created a temporary safety zone in Sandusky Bay near the Jackson Street Pier in Sandusky, Ohio. This zone will be in effect from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on December 14, 2024, to protect people and the environment during a fireworks display by the City of Sandusky. People and boats are not allowed to enter this zone unless given explicit permission by the Captain of the Port in Detroit or a designated representative. The rule will ensure safety by preventing possible dangers such as collisions due to falling firework debris.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard is keeping a part of the bay in Sandusky, Ohio, off-limits for safety during a fireworks show, so no boats or people can go there unless they get special permission; this is to make sure everyone stays safe from things like firework pieces falling into the water.

    The Coast Guard is proposing a temporary safety zone around a cable laying barge off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia, due to navigational hazards from nearshore operations. This zone extends 1000 yards around the barge and seaward up to 12 nautical miles. The rule aims to ensure the safety of people and vessels near these operations. Unauthorized entry into the zone is prohibited, and the Coast Guard is inviting public comments on this proposal until January 29, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard wants to create a special safe area in the ocean near Virginia Beach where they are laying a big cable, so boats should not go too close to it. They will listen to people's thoughts about this plan until January 29, 2025.
