Safety Zone; Bancroft Canal, Cameron Parish, LA
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters on the Bancroft Canal between points 30[deg]01'12.67" N, 093[deg]37'23.07" W, and 30[deg]01'12.03" N, 093[deg]36'18.60" W. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by the active response and cleanup of an oil spill on the waterway. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Port Arthur.
The establishment of a safety zone may limit access to navigable waters, potentially affecting the due process rights of individuals seeking to enter the area.
The prohibition on entry into the safety zone may infringe upon the rights of individuals to access public waterways.
