Another implied issue was the booms. The restriction is based on the booms, which could be placed anywhere, even areas not directly effected by the spill or areas actively being cleaned.
It's definitely a fine line. As stated, you don't want people in the way. You don't want everything hidden from view either. One has to ask if the new restrictions are excessive. Would 30 feet have been safe enough? Originally, the Coast Guard wanted 300 feet, but backed down to 65. Does that imply anything about motive?
