A slow speed zone is coming to the waters off PortMiami.
The U.S. Coast Guard’s Miami sector says waters surrounding the port have become increasingly dangerous because of a rise in boat traffic – leading to more collisions.
The new rule extends a slow speed zone through Fisherman's and the Main Ship channels for vessels less than 50 meters — or 164 feet — in length.
It goes into effect beginning January 29.
