[Docket No. USCG-2018-0764]

Safety Zone; Annual Swim for Alligator Reef Lighthouse, 
Islamorada, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement of regulation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce the temporary safety zone for the 
6th Annual Swim for Alligator Reef Lighthouse, Islamorada, Florida from 
6:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on September 15, 2018. Our regulation for 
Recurring Safety Zones in Captain of the Port Key West Zone identifies 
the regulated area for this event. This action is necessary to ensure 
the safety of event participants and spectators. During the enforcement 
period, no person or vessel may enter, transit through, anchor in, or 
remain within the regulated area without approval from the Captain of 
the Port Key West or a designated representative.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.786, Table to Sec.  165.786, Line 
No. 9.1 will be enforced from 6:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on September 
15, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this notice, 
call or email Gregory Bergstrom, Sector Key West Waterways Management 
Department, Coast Guard; telephone (305) 292-8772; email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety 
zones in 33 CFR 165.786, Table to Sec.  165.786, Line No. 9.1, from 
6:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on September 15, 2018, for the annual Swim 
for Alligator Reef Lighthouse in Islamorada, Florida. Our regulation 
for Recurring Safety Zones in Captain of the Port Key West Zone, Sec.  
165.786, Line No. 9.1, specifies the location of the regulated area as 
all within 50 yards in front of the lead safety vessel preceding the 
first event participants, 50 yards behind the safety vessel trailing 
the last event participants, and at all times extend 100 yards on 
either side of the safety vessels.
    This action prevents vessels from transiting areas specifically 
designated as safety zones during the periods of enforcement. During 
the enforcement period, no person or vessel may enter, transit through, 
anchor within, or remain within the established regulated areas without 
approval from the Captain of the Port Key West or designated 
representative. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, 
State, or local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.
    The Coast Guard will provide notice of the regulated area by Local 
Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners. If the Captain of 
the Port Key West determines that the regulated area need not be 
enforced for the full duration stated in this publication, he or she 
may use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to grant general permission to 
enter the regulated area.

    Dated: August 27, 2018.
F.S. Rego,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Key West.
