On

Coast Guard proposes to establish a 500yard safety zone around each of five

navigable waters of the Rhode Island
Sound, RI, from April 1 to October 31,
2016. These safety zones are intended to
safeguard mariners from the hazards
associated with construction of the
BIWF. Vessels would be prohibited from
entering into, transiting through,
mooring, or anchoring within these
safety zones while construction vessels
and associated equipment are present at
any of the BIWF WTG sites, unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
(COTP), Southeastern New England or
the COTP’s designated representative.
The original deadline to submit
