Understanding Regulatory Markers in Boating

Explanation:

Danger: A white buoy or sign with an orange diamond warns boaters of danger – rocks, dams, rapids, etc. Controlled Area: A white buoy or sign with an orange circle and black lettering indicates controlled or restricted areas on the water.

Regulatory markers are another buoy on the lakes and rivers of Georgia. They use orange markings and black lettering on a white buoy to warn of hazards, obstructions, provide direction, and information. Additionally, they mark closed areas.

The restricted buoy is white with an orange circle containing black lettering. It also features orange circles at the top and bottom, indicating a region with specific navigational rules such as No Speeding, No Fishing, No Anchoring, and No Skiing as common examples.
