The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local regulation (SLR) for certain navigable waters of the Detroit River to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment during a rowing regatta on June 27, 2026. The regulation prohibits persons and vessels from entering the regulated area unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Detroit or their designated representative. The SLR will be in effect from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 27, 2026, covering all navigable waters of the Detroit River, Trenton Channel, from Point Hennepin to the Grosse Ile toll bridge. This action is necessary due to potential hazards such as increased vessel congestion and cold-water recovery risks associated with the event.
