What is actually written down today, with sources you can open — and, kept clearly apart, the standards this campaign is asking Lebanon to adopt.
Existing law and international standards
Each entry below links to its published source. Where a number is the campaign's own rather than the source's, it is labelled as such.
Lateral marks — IALA Maritime Buoyage System (Region A)
Lebanon lies in IALA Region A: entering a channel from seaward, port-hand marks are red and starboard-hand marks are green. Every corridor gate in a plan must carry both.
The international collision regulations require a proper lookout at all times and a safe speed for the visibility, traffic and proximity of navigational hazards — which includes people in the water.
Comparative practice — 300 m shore band at 5 knots (France)
French coastal rules cap all craft at 5 knots inside the 300 m shore band. The campaign uses the same figure as a reference point for Lebanon; it is comparative practice, not Lebanese law.
The shore and the sea up to the highest winter wave line are public maritime domain. Public access and swimming are the baseline right any corridor must protect.
These are campaign proposals, not current Lebanese law. Nothing on this page creates a legal obligation.
Near-shore speed
No more than 5 knots and no wake within 300 metres of the coastline, for powered craft of any size.
Marked swimming zones
Buoyed swimming water separated from a single marked boat corridor, so swimmers and propellers never share the same unmarked water.
Jet skis and personal watercraft
The proposed rules are propulsion-neutral: jet-drive craft with no exposed propeller are covered exactly like outboard motorboats.
Sightseeing zones
Inside swimmer-interaction zones such as Raouché, a stricter bare-steerage, no-wake limit where operationally feasible, with approach only through marked corridors.
