Danger Buoys
Isolated Danger Buoys – Are BLACK

It is wise to maintain a safe distance
from these buoys.
Fairway Buoys
Fairway Buoys – Are vertically
painted half RED and half WHITE.
These buoys are used to mark the
entrance of a channel, center of a

indicates that there is safe water on
either side of the buoy, but it should
be kept to your port side when going
either upstream or downstream.

ENVIRONMENTAL
Environmental protection is everyone’s
responsibility. The bigger part we play in the
environmental protection of our recreational
areas, the more secure we make them for
future visits and future generations.
Common sense, for the most part, helps
guide us in what is and what is not
acceptable environmental behavior. For
clarity, however, governments are stepping
up more and more to ensure that minimum
standards for environmental protection are
not only communicated but also enforced.
Be aware of the applicable environmental
regulations for the area in which you are
boating.
Failure to comply with area environmental
regulations may result in significant fines,
penalties and/or possible jail time.
Fuel and Oil
All areas in North America have strict
regulations about the discharge of fuel or oil
products into open waters. These
contaminants endanger our watersheds and
plant and animal life.
