Local News in Brief : Stricter Rules Adopted on Use of Anaheim Bay
- Share via
Stricter boating safety regulations for Anaheim Bay have been adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
The regulations, which bring the county’s ordinance into line with stricter federal regulations, “are intended to increase boating safety and should pose no hardship in compliance,” Supervisor Harriett M. Wieder said.
Under federal law, the bay is a “special use area” for military operations.
The county regulations were amended Jan. 31 to expand the prohibition of recreational vessels within the restricted area of the bay to include jet skis, rowboats, canoes, kayaks, sailboards and surfboards.
Smoking, open flames and barbecues are prohibited during transit of the bay.
The county Sheriff’s Department enforces the regulations.
