What the agency says
The Coast Guard seeks comments regarding the possible establishment of shipping safety fairways ("fairways") in the Gulf of Maine identified in the Approaches to Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts Port Access Route Study. This potential system of fairways is intended to ensure that traditional navigation routes are kept free from fixed structures that could impact navigation safety.
