Issued by Homeland Security Department
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary security zone for certain navigable waters of Biscayne Bay in connection with the 2026 Miami FIFA World Cup and the World Cup Fan Fest events in Miami, Florida. This security zone is necessary to safeguard official parties, VIP's and other participants ("attendees") attending the Miami 2026 FIFA World Cup and the World Cup Fan Fest because the ease of waterfront access to the various venues hosting the World Cup events presents a security concern for all attendees. This rulemaking prohibits anchoring or remaining within the security zone during enforcement periods unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP), Sector Miami or their designated representative.
