    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Coast Guard is proposing to create safety zones around vessels carrying oversized cargo in the Los Angeles-Long Beach Port Complex to enhance navigational safety. These zones would span a 500-foot radius around such vessels while they are in transit, prohibiting entry without authorization from the Captain of the Port or a designated representative. Comments on this proposed rule are welcomed until February 18, 2025, through the Federal Decision-Making Portal. This action aims to minimize navigational disruptions and ensure safe transport of large cargo within the port area.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard wants to keep big ships carrying large items in the Los Angeles port area safe by creating a "safety zone" that other boats can't enter unless they get special permission. They're asking people to share what they think about this idea to help make a final decision.

These events are the Holiday Fireworks on December 14, 2024, and the New Year's Eve Fireworks on December 31, 2024, through January 1, 2025, in Marina del Rey, California. During these times, boat operators in the area must follow instructions from the Coast Guard and other authorized officials. Notices of these enforcement periods will also be issued via various safety bulletins and broadcasts.

    The Coast Guard is making sure everyone stays safe when there are big fireworks in Los Angeles. On December 14 and New Year's Eve, boats have to follow special rules to make sure nobody gets hurt while enjoying the fireworks.
