REGULATED / LIMITED ACCESS
AREAS
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has regulations to
prevent terrorist attacks on U.S. naval vessels, cruise
ships, commercial vessels, and critical infrastructure
near the water such as:
• Nuclear power plants
• Petroleum facilities
• Bridges
• Dams
• Shipping channels
As a boater, not knowing how to act in certain areas or
situations may put you in legal jeopardy, or worse, at
risk of personal injury. You can be fined, imprisoned, or
fired upon if you are perceived as a security risk. It is
best to avoid these areas if possible.
