Summary

The U.S. Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone on the navigable waters of Richardson Bay near Sausalito, California. The safety zone will restrict vessel traffic and personnel from entering, transiting through, or anchoring within the designated area unless authorized by the Coast Guard Sector San Francisco Captain of the Port or a designated representative. This action is necessary to protect persons, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with the event or activity necessitating the safety zone.

What changed

The Coast Guard is establishing a new safety zone in Richardson Bay, Sausalito, California. Safety zones are implemented to protect persons, vessels, and the marine environment from hazards that may occur within a defined waterway area. This regulatory action prohibits unauthorized vessels and personnel from entering, remaining within, or conducting operations in the designated zone without express authorization.

Mariners operating in the San Francisco Bay area, particularly those in or near Richardson Bay, must comply with the new restrictions or face potential enforcement action. Vessel operators should monitor Coast Guard communications for specific dates, times, and boundaries of enforcement, as the safety zone may be activated for defined periods rather than on a permanent basis.

What to do next

  1. Mariners must obtain authorization from the COTP before entering the safety zone
  2. Vessels must comply with directions issued by Coast Guard patrol personnel
