Jun. 15—Brian Larson, owner of the marina Larson's Landing, has had to grapple with boaters on Lake Sara creating wakes in "no-wake areas" like the area around his marina, where up to 30 boats ...
mark a controlled area such as no wake, idles speed, speed limit, or ski zone. Crossed diamonds [ 10 ] show areas off limits to all boats, like swimming areas and dams.
"No wake zones" may prohibit wakes in marinas, near moorings and within some distance of shore [3] in order to facilitate recreation by other boats and reduce the damage wakes cause. Powered narrowboats on British canals are not permitted to create a breaking wash (a wake large enough to create a breaking wave) along the banks, as this erodes ...
Hywind Tampen is a floating offshore wind farm 140 km off the Norwegian coast in the North Sea owned by the Norwegian state-owned energy company, Equinor.The turbines are mounted on cylindrical concrete spar-buoy foundations.

Cardinal marks indicate the direction of safety as a cardinal ( compass ) direction ( north , east , south or west ) relative to the mark.
A delayed surface marker buoy (DSMB), decompression buoy, or deco buoy is an inflatable buoy which can be deployed while the diver is submerged and generally only towards the end of the dive. The buoy marks the diver's position underwater so the dive boat crew can locate the diver even though the diver may have drifted some distance from the ...

It belongs to the sound buoys and by shape to the beacon buoys. [5] [6] In nautical charts, bell buoys are designated Bell. The development of ...
A floating bridge can be built in a series of sections, starting from an anchored point on the shore. Modern pontoon bridges usually use pre-fabricated floating structures. [15] Most pontoon bridges are designed for temporary use, but bridges across water bodies with a constant water level can remain in place much longer.
