The US Coast Guard is bolstering security on the New Orleans waterfront ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, deploying vessels and specialized teams to ensure a safe and secure environment for tourists and locals. The mission includes securing the Mississippi River, facilitating maritime commerce, and responding to any potential threats.
Aboard the United States Coast Guard's Cutter Sawfish, a crew of 10 worked diligently on Wednesday to secure the New Orleans waterfront ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl.
"While the waterfront is our primary mission here, we have a security zone that we're enforcing," Capt. Gregory A. Callaghan, the sector commander of USCG New Orleans, told ABC News from aboard the Sawfish.
Callaghan explained that "making sure we are facilitating the commerce that moves up and down the critical Mississippi River" was also part of the assignment."And with the number of cruise ships arriving, and the number of folks that want to enjoy the waterfront here in New Orleans, we want to make sure that we're doing our part to make sure that is a safe and secure time for them," he continued.
