Summary

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters extending from MM 6.5 East of Harvey Lock to MM 10 East of Harvey Lock along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) which includes the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal (IHNC) Lock. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with an ongoing sewage leak in the vicinity of the Florida Avenue Bridge at position 29[deg]58.860 N, 90[deg].01.300 W. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector New Orleans, or their designated representative.

Constitutional Analysis
Fifth Amendment – Due Process restricts 80% confidence

The establishment of a temporary safety zone may limit access to navigable waters, potentially affecting the rights of individuals and vessels to freely navigate.
