Regulated Navigation Area; Galveston Channel, TX

The Coast Guard proposes to establish a regulated navigation area across the entire width of the Galveston Channel in the vicinity of Sector Field Office (SFO) Galveston. This regulated navigation area would require vessels to navigate at no wake speeds within this area. Vessel transits at greater than minimum safe speed and causing wake in this area would be prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Houston-Galveston or a designated representative. This regulated navigation area is needed to protect the Coast Guard Sector Field Office (SFO) Galveston vessels, break wall, and piers from further damage associated with excessive wake and to protect ongoing base construction.
