The Coast Guard is establishing fixed and moving security zones around the Motor Vessel (M/V) ARC ENDURANCE. The security zone encompasses all navigable waters within a 500-yard radius around the M/ V ARC ENDURANCE.

Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Corpus Christi (COTP) or a designated representative.
