The definition of "partially protected waters", as used in the Regulations does not include __________.

Correct Answer: Option C — sheltered waters presenting no special hazard

46 CFR 114.400 defines protected waters as sheltered areas presenting no special hazards. Conversely, partially protected waters include areas like the Great Lakes or waters within 20 nautical miles of a harbor of safe refuge, making option C the incorrect classification for that specific regulatory category.
