Over the long-term, we envision having a map of the coastal/marine areas of each island, with existing and permitted (but not installed) buoys indicated. A person could click on a “dot”, and pull up information on that buoy (name, location, “fun facts”, any other pertinent info., condition of buoy). Eventually, we are hoping that people will be able to download and print information about each mooring buoy from this site.

For now, here are a few of the maps of buoy locations. You can't see anything in the small image but just click on any of them and a larger view will appear!
These maps are not intended for navigational use.

Day-use moorings have proven to be an effective tool in reducing the damage to coral reefs caused by anchors.
