In the discussion here regarding marinas and closures, understand that the
best resource right now is probably Waterway Guide. The list chanes
constantly.

This technically not about Trawlers but it does give you an idea of how
crazy it is in the Florida Keys:

CORONAVIRUS CRISIS UPDATE, March 24, 2020:

OFFICIALS TO RESTRICT TRAVEL ON FLORIDA KEYS OVERSEAS HIGHWAY (U.S. 1)

MONROE COUNTY – Concerned about limiting exposure to coronavirus, the
Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is coordinating implementation of
southbound traffic stops at mile marker 112.5 on the Florida Keys
Overseas Highway, and on State Road 905 (Card Sound Road), to restrict
access to the Florida Keys and to reinforce the island chain’s closure
to visitors and non-residents.

The stations are to begin operations by no later than early Friday. Only
residents, property owners, and those actively involved in work in the
Florida Keys will be admitted, including fuel tankers, delivery and
grocery trucks.

Proof of residency can be demonstrated with a resident reentry sticker,
local identification, utility bill, deed, lease or tax bill. Those
actively engaged in work in the Florida Keys, such as construction
workers, will need to show a letter from their employer, employee
identification, a paystub, or current construction contract in the Keys.
First responders, healthcare workers and military actively engaged in
work in the Keys will need proper IDs.

Long delays are possible at checkpoints and officials advise not to call
911 with non-emergency questions about U.S. 1.

Go to www.monroecountyem/covid-19 for more information about Monroe
County’s response to COVID-19, INCLUDING ALL UPDATES REGARDING U.S. 1.
Residents can call the Monroe County Emergency Management information
hotline at 800-955-5504.

The Catalina Island Company. who operates all the island's moorings outside of Avalon, CA, sent the following message.

To our mooring sub-lessees, transient boaters and yacht club friends:

We know how much you love Catalina Island, but in this challenging time, we are asking anyone who is not a primary resident of Two Harbors or the west end NOT to visit for the time being. The healthcare facilities on Catalina lack the capacity to handle a widespread outbreak of COVID-19. This is even more challenging for the small, remote community of Two Harbors.

Health and government officials are recommending social distancing, and while Catalina might seem like the perfect place for that, the reality is that visiting us right now risks lives. Additionally, services across all of Catalina are extremely limited. Specifically, in the Two Harbors area, Banning House Lodge& Villas, Harbor Reef Restaurant, all campgrounds and other public spaces are temporarily closed due to State and County-mandated orders. Furthermore, Catalina Express will not provide boat service to or from Two Harbors after Sunday, March 22.

Catalina Island Company is following Governor Gavin Newsom’s Stay at Home Order by:

Notifying existing mooring lessees and yacht clubs not to visit the island or utilize moorings

Strongly discouraging  individuals currently moored from coming ashore·

Recommending that boats seeking transient moorings return to the mainland

In addition, due to the Stay at Home Order, there are limited Dive Services available to assist boaters in emergency situations.

This is a difficult message to send, but we are asking that you respect our community and our request to stay home for now. We’ll all be able to enjoy the island again sooner rather than later if we all pull together and do the right things during this health crisis.
