Bans most vessel anchoring in specific parts of the Hudson River.
This bill would stop most vessels from dropping anchor in certain areas of the Hudson River. It would require the U.S. Coast Guard to enforce this new rule. This means boaters and commercial ships would have fewer places to anchor in those parts of the river.
Currently, vessels can anchor in many parts of a specific stretch of the Hudson River, even outside of designated anchorage grounds. If this bill becomes law, the U.S. Coast Guard would prohibit anchoring in those same areas. Anchoring would only be allowed in anchorage grounds that were officially set up before January 1, 2021.
