Mooring Buoys
The only buoys you are permitted to moor to are mooring buoys. Mooring buoys
are white with a blue horizontal stripe. Mooring to a navigation buoy, regulatory
markers or lateral markers is illegal.

Daymarks / Dayboards
Daymarks or dayboards are fixed visual markers in the water. The markers are
commonly attached to a post or piling and are sometimes accompanied by a light.
Daymarks are either red or green and are usually triangular- or square-shaped,
though their shapes can vary. Daymarks often display numbers, which act as
navigation guides. Red daymarks are usually triangular and sometimes show an
odd number. Green daymarks are usually square and sometimes show an even
number. The numbers on the markers are sequential and increase from seaward.
