Isolated Danger Markers
Isolated danger markers indicate an isolated danger which may be passed on all
sides. These markers are black with one or more broad horizontal red bands and
are equipped with a top mark of two black spheres, one above the other. On inland
waters, a buoy with alternating vertical black and white stripes may be used to
indicate that an obstruction or other danger exists between the buoy and the
nearest shore. Do not pass between the buoy and the shore.

Other Special Signs And Markers
Various signs and markers are used throughout U.S. waterways for different
purposes. In Florida, special signs are used to warn of “manatee” areas. These
signs help to control speed and/or restrict areas from boating to conserve this
endangered species. As a boat owner and operator, be aware of special
information and markers on the waterways. Contact your state and local
authorities for more information on local restricted or controlled areas and their
markers.
