SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone for the Sea World 
Fireworks on the waters of Mission Bay, CA on specific evenings from

regulation for the Southern California annual fireworks for the San 
Diego Captain of the Port Zone identifies the regulated area for the 
events. During the enforcement period, no spectators shall anchor, 
block, loiter in, or impede the transit of official patrol vessels in 
the regulated area without the approval of the Captain of the Port, or 
his designated representative.
