The establishment of the safety zones is necessary to protect event participants, waterway users, and vessels from the potential hazards associated with these recurring organized water events. When subject to enforcement, no person is authorized to access the safety zones without permission from the Captain of the Port (COTP) or the COTP's designated representative.
