What the agency says
The Coast Guard is amending the current temporary safety zone in the vicinity of the West Passage Narraganset Bay, Jamestown, RI, in two ways. First, we are extending the effective period by 30 days to January 31, 2025. Second, by updating the name of the cable laying vessel. The temporary safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by cable laying operations being conducted. When enforced, entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Southeastern New England.
