Abstract

The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone for certain waters of the Chesapeake Bay near Baltimore, MD within 500 yards of the M/V W SAPPHIRE in position 39[deg]01.40' N, 76[deg]22.1' W. The Coast Guard is establishing this safety zone to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards during multi-agency firefighting and salvage operations. Additionally, the safety zone is needed to ensure a safe working environment for the first responders and dive teams from passing traffic. This rule will prohibit persons or vessels from entering this zone unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Sector Maryland-National Capital Region (NCR) or a designated representative.
