What it does

The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone on Milwaukee Harbor, including Lakeshore Inlet, in Milwaukee, WI, to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during a land-based fireworks display. Our regulation for annual marine events requiring safety zones within the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone identifies the boundaries of the safety zone. During the enforcement period, vessels may not enter, move within, or exit the safety zone unless granted permission by the Captain of the Port or designated representative.
