# What This Proposal Does The U.S. Coast Guard is establishing safety zones around areas in the Columbia River where fireworks displays happen each year. This means the Coast Guard can control boat traffic and activities in these specific areas during fireworks events to prevent accidents and injuries. # Who It Affects People who operate boats, jet skis, or other watercraft on the Columbia River during annual fireworks shows will need to follow new restrictions in designated zones. # Why It Matters Fireworks near water can create hazards—boats might get too close to displays, spectators could be injured, or fires could start. These safety zones help the Coast Guard manage the area and keep people safe during celebrations.
