Navy Training Exercise

The US Coast Guard will be enforcing three temporary safety zones in the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean off Cape May starting later in the week because of a Navy training exercise.

Officials say the safety zones will be enforced from Thursday until next Friday, October 24th as part of "Frontier Sentinel."

The annual training exercise includes the Navy, Coast Guard, and Canadian Military forces.

Officials say the exercise includes live mine counter-measure operations.

The pretend scenario for the exercise involves the boarding of a ship in Canadian waters and the discovery that its crew had mined the Delaware Bay.

Entry, passage, and anchoring in the safety zones will be restricted for all boaters during the exercise.
