Module 06 - Markers and Buoys

What Is A Buoy?

A buoy is a floating marker or signal which is affixed to the bottom of the waterway or mounted on a feature (such as an island) of the waterway.

Buoys serve 4 main functions:

  • Provide warnings

  • Provide information

  • Mark underwater hazards

  • Provide a system for navigation
