What does aMooring buoy look like?

A mooring buoy is typically a large, floating spherical or cylindrical structure made of durable materials like polyethylene or fiberglass, designed to withstand harsh marine conditions. It is often brightly colored, commonly in shades of orange, yellow, or white, for visibility. The buoy is anchored to the seabed with a chain or cable and usually features a heavy-duty ring or cleat on top for securing boats. Some mooring buoys may also have reflective markings or lights for nighttime visibility.
