Restricted Areas and Danger Zone at Naval Station Mayport, FL

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is revising its regulations by expanding the existing restricted area as well as establishing two new restricted areas and a new danger zone in the waters adjacent to and within the boundaries of Naval Station (NAVSTA) Mayport in Florida. The NAVSTA Mayport is the third largest naval facility in the continental United States and is unique in that it is home to a busy seaport as well as an air facility which conducts more than 135,000 flight operations each year. This amendment to the existing regulation is necessary to enhance the safety of the local community by ensuring safe navigation of the adjacent waterways, to preserve military security force protection measures, and to adhere to military munitions regulations.
