The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone in the navigable waters of Boston Inner Harbor near Piers Park in East Boston. This zone will be active on September 13, 2026, to accommodate a scheduled swim event.
Why it matters: This is a routine administrative action to manage traffic and safety during a specific public event. It does not change long-term regulations or alter how the harbor is used on other days. Its practical impact is limited to that single date and location.
Who it affects
- Swimmers and participants in the September 13, 2026, event
