Mooring Buoys

Mooring buoys are white with a blue horizontal band and can be anchored to in public waters. It is unlawful to moor, anchor or attach any boat to other buoys, beacons, light marker, stake, flag or other marker used as a navigational aids.

Lateral Markers

Lateral markers indicate the sides of channels. Safe passage can be found between pairs of green and red buoys. Green colors and lights should be on your right (starboard)side when traveling toward open waters Red colors and lights should be on your right (starboard) side when traveling toward the channel. Remember: "Red-Right-Returning" Red and White vertically striped buoy markers, some topped with a white light or red top mark, indicate mid-channels or fairways. These markers may be passed on either side as long as other, safe navigation rules are followed. Red and Green buoys and lights indicate primary channels. If the green horizontal band is on top, the primary channel is the right (starboard). If the red band is on the top, the primary channel is to the left (port) side. This marker indicates the primary channel is on the starboard. Shapes of buoys, numbers and letters play key roles in the lateral system. Generally, green port side buoys in the main and secondary channels are "can" or square-shaped markers and odd-numbered. Red starboard side buoys in these channels are "nun" or triangular-shaped markers and even-numbered.

Other Markers

What is the purpose of sea pork?

Despite their unfortunate appearance, sea pork, or tunicates, are considered one of the most evolved of all marine invertebrates. Proud members of the sea squirt family, these amorphous blobs are essentially little water pumps, pumping water in and out of the bodies and extracting nutrients along the way.

It's a blob, it's a brain, it's a… sea pork?

Doesn't it seem like every day there's a new kind of bizarre alien lifeform washing up on our beautiful Southern shores? Since we've cleared up the mystery of the weird black pouches littering North Carolina beaches, it's time to address the slimy, pink, brain-like blobs popping up along the coast. The name for these organ-like creatures is appropriately gross: sea pork. Yes, really. Despite their unfortunate appearance, sea pork, or tunicates, are considered one of the most evolved of all marine invertebrates. Proud members of the sea squirt family, these amorphous blobs are essentially little water pumps, pumping water in and out of the bodies and extracting nutrients along the way. They attach permanently to hard surfaces, like a rock or a boat, and then get to work at pumping. Sea pork exist in large colonies, eating and working together to filter the earth's seas. Carlos Chacon, manager of natural history at the Coastal Discovery Museum, told The Charlotte Observer that sea pork wash ashore in large quantities, usually after big storms. Seeing a bunch pop up is a good indication of rough seas. They weird little creatures can be found anywhere along the Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico, and fortunately, they can't hurt you.
