What You Can Do For Homeland Security

Violators of the restrictions below can expect a quick and severe response.

• Do not approach within 100 yards, and slow to minimum speed within 500 yards of any U.S. Naval vessel. If you need to pass within 100 yards of a U.S. Naval vessel for safe passage, you must contact the U.S. Naval vessel or the U.S. Coast Guard escort vessel on VHF-FM channel 16.
• Observe and avoid all security zones. Avoid commercial port areas, especially those that involve military, cruise-line or petroleum facilities.
• Observe and avoid other restricted areas near dams, power plants, etc.
• Do not stop or anchor beneath bridges or in the channel.

Keep a sharp eye out for anything that looks peculiar or out of the ordinary. Report all activities that seem suspicious to the local authorities, the U.S. Coast Guard, or the port or marina security.
