Cool Thanks. I have been to that site many times, but did not think of it
for this case. Last night I do not think it said marine life rescue. It
seems that this is a rather large TFR for a fish. :-)

Anyway, I saw these whales in the river on the news last night. Did not
think they would make a TFR for that. Oh well.


It's a "security" issue.

Yeah. They want to protect crowds from twisted pieces of falling aluminum.

The original purpose of TFRs was for things like this -- fires, media
circuses, etc., where there might be a lot of official air traffic or
way too many sightseers in the air. You get a whole bunch of planes in
a constricted area where all the pilots are looking at the ground
instead of for each other, and there will be trouble. Hence, the TFR.
