You are correct Paul. I called the coast guard and the CPSO marine division today. I have attached the info from the coast guard on the 3 security zones. Both they and the sheriff's dept. said that there is no law on the books in regards to maintaining a specific distance from docks or shoreline. They advise to stay a safe distance away from any dock that has a vessel moored to it or that has people working on it. The deputy said to remember that "if plant security personel ask you to back away a little that they are just doing their job so be courteous".
