Safety/Security Zone Regulations; Charleston Harbor and Cooper River, SC

The Coast Guard is establishing a moving safety/security zone around vessels transporting nuclear materials in Charleston Harbor and the Cooper River. Each zone will extend 200 yards ahead and astern, and 100 yards to each side of vessels carrying the nuclear materials, during transit from the Charleston Harbor entrance to the Charleston Naval Weapons Station on the Cooper River. The zone will remain in effect during cargo operations while the vessel is moored at the Naval Weapons Station. This safety/security zone is needed to protect the transport vessels from potential protests and demonstrations by organizations that may attempt to disrupt shipments, while transiting Charleston Harbor and the Cooper River.
