-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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.
