Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Temporary navigation restrictions during parade
On November 11, 2026, from 10:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the Coast Guard will enforce a regulated area for the San Diego Fleet Week Veterans Day Boat Parade covering waters of San Diego Bay from Shelter Island northeast to Harbor Island, along the shoreline to Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal, across the Federal channel prior to the Coronado Bridge, then northwest to the Coronado Ferry Landing. During that time, the operator of any vessel in that area must follow directions from the Patrol Commander or any Official Patrol displaying a Coast Guard ensign.
Anchoring and loitering prohibited without authorization
Within the regulated area for the parade, persons and vessels are prohibited from anchoring, blocking, loitering, or impeding unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or a designated representative. If you plan to be on the water in that area on November 11, 2026 between 10:45 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., you must have authorization or avoid anchoring and lingering there.
Captain of the Port can shorten enforcement or grant access
The Captain of the Port Sector San Diego or a designated representative may determine the regulated area need not be enforced for the full stated period and can use a Safety Marine Information Broadcast or other coordinated communications to grant general permission to enter the area. This means the Coast Guard can officially allow entry before 1:00 p.m. if they announce it.
