Coast Guard Security for Republican Convention
<http://cryptome.org/2012/04/uscg040312.htm>


SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish seven temporary security 
zones on the waters and adjacent land 20 feet shoreward of the mean 
high water marks of Garrison Channel, Hillsborough River, Seddon 
Channel, Sparkman Channel, the unnamed channel north of Davis Islands, 
Ybor Channel, and Ybor Turning Basin in the vicinity of Tampa, Florida 
during the 2012 Republican National Convention. The 2012 Republican 
National Convention will be held at the Tampa Bay Times Forum building 
and other venues from August 27, 2012 through August 31, 2012. The 
Department of Homeland Security has designated the 2012 Republican 
National Convention as a National Special Security Event. The security 
zones are necessary to protect convention delegates, official parties, 
dignitaries, the public, and surrounding waterways from terrorist acts, 
sabotage or other subversive acts, accidents, or other causes of a 
similar nature.
