Security Zone, St. Simons Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, GA

The Coast Guard is establishing security zones, from June 5, 2004, through June 11, 2004, for the G-8 Summit to be held in Sea Island, Georgia. These security zones are required to provide for the security of the public, the G-8 Summit and its participants, and the safety of the waterways due to the potential for hostile and violent acts from demonstrators protesting the G-8 Conference. This rule prohibits the entry of all vessels and persons into the waters in the vicinity of Sea Island, Jekyll Island, and all waters of the Atlantic Ocean from the baselines of Sea Island, St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island extending seaward to a distance of 3 nautical miles, as well as waters on the Hampton River, Jones Creek, Lanier Island, and St. Simons Sound. Additional security zones prohibit entering closer than 100- yards to eight specified bridges located in the vicinity of these waters.
