This type of restriction may be imposed by a local government entity under the provisions of Harbors and navigation Code section 660 (a), which allows local entities to adopt regulations in four areas that do not conflict with state law. They include : setting time of day restrictions, setting speed zones, establishing a “special sue area” (where all or a portion of a waterway under the jurisdiction of local entity may allow or prohibit a specific activity if it is incompatible with another activity), and sanitation and pollution control.
