Security Zone; FIFA World Cup and Fan Fest 2026, Bayfront Park, Miami, FL

The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary security zone for certain navigable waters of Biscayne Bay in connection with the 2026 Miami FIFA World Cup and the World Cup Fan Fest events in Miami, Florida. The Captain of the Port Miami (COTP) is taking this action to safeguard official parties, VIP’s and other participants (‘‘attendees’’) attending the Miami 2026 FIFA World Cup and the World Cup Fan Fest because the ease of waterfront access to the various venues hosting the World Cup events presents a security concern for all attendees. Anchoring, or remaining within the security zone would be prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Miami (COTP) or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
