OCEAN CITY — Concerns have been raised over a federal agency planning to close a vast area of open ocean off the coast from late April to early May for specialized training and systems testing.
Earlier this month, the Federal Registry posted a notice of the proposed closure and opened a public comment period. In February, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) informed the Coast Guard is will be conducting U.S. government training and systems testing from April 25 through May 8. The training and testing will take place in two locations off the coast of Ocean City, according to the Federal Register listing.
“The Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region had determined that a security zone is needed for waterborne protection of the public, mitigation of potential terrorist acts, and the enhancing of public and maritime safety and security in order to safeguard life, property and the environment on or near the navigable waters near Ocean City, Maryland,” the Federal Register listing reads.
According to the Federal Register listing, the security zone will be established off the coast of Ocean City from 9 a.m. on April 25 through 10 p.m. on May 8. The security zone will be enforced from 9 a.m. through 10 p.m. on each day of the two-week closure. The security zone is roughly 9.3 nautical miles in length and 3.6 nautical miles in width.
