NAVIGABLE WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES BY DEFINITION UNDER 33 CFR 2.36(A)(1) OR (2): These waters include the territorial seas of the United States and all internal waters of the United States that are subject to tidal influence. Internal waters that are subject to tidal influence are too numerous to list by name. SECTION II. INTERNAL WATERS DETERMINED TO BE NAVIGABLE WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES.
