Summary
The Coast Guard is issuing a temporary rule that will restrict activity on a portion of San Diego Bay during the San Diego TriRock Triathlon on September 12, 2026. The purpose is to keep participants, spectators, support vessels and other waterway users safe by preventing anchoring, blocking, loitering or any other interference in the designated area unless a Captain of the Port (or his delegate) gives permission. The rule is a “Special Local Regulation” enacted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Coast Guard. It applies to anyone navigating the waters of San Diego Bay—commercial and recreational boaters, charter operators, and other vessels—during the triathlon’s enforcement window. The regulation became effective on September 10, 2026, the date it was published in the Federal Register (91 FR 57512). No public comment period is required for this short‑term safety measure, and the Coast Guard will begin enforcement on September 12, 2026. After the event, normal navigation rules will resume.
