Summary
The First Coast Guard District will host six public meetings, five in-person and one virtual, to provide an opportunity for oral comments regarding the Approaches to Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts Port Access Route Study. The purpose of the port access study is to evaluate the adequacy of existing vessel routing measures and determine whether additional vessel routing measures are necessary for port approaches to Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and international and domestic transit areas in the First Coast Guard District area of responsibility.
