A mooring buoy is typically designated by a specific color and markings, often identified by a large, white, or brightly colored buoy with a clear, visible number or letter that indicates its purpose. These buoys are used to provide a secure point for vessels to tie up without anchoring, helping to prevent damage to the seabed. The designation can vary by location, so it’s important to refer to local navigational charts for specific information.
