SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce a special local regulation on the 
waters of the Gulf of Mexico, in the vicinity of Lido Beach, Florida, 
during the Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix. Approximately 55 boats and 
jet skis, traveling at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour are 
expected to participate. Additionally, it is anticipated that 300 
spectator vessels will be present along the race course. The special 
local regulation is necessary to protect the safety of race 
participants, participant vessels, spectators, and the general public 
on certain navigable waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Lido Beach, Florida 
during the event. The special local regulation will establish an 
enforcement area where all persons and vessels, except those persons 
and vessels participating in the high speed boat races, are prohibited 
from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within 
the regulated area without obtaining permission from the Captain of the 
Port St. Petersburg or a designated representative.

a.m. until 7 p.m., on July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2022, for the location 
identified in Item 5 in Table 1 to Sec.  100.703.

notification of enforcement, call or email Marine Science Technician

recurring marine events, Sector St. Petersburg, Sec.  100.703, Table 1 
to Sec.  100.703, Item No. 5, specifies the location of the regulated
