Floating markers, also known as BUOYS, are objects that are placed in bodies of water to mark a specific location or provide navigational information. They are typically made of plastic, metal, or wood and are designed to be buoyant so they can remain afloat. BUOYS are often used to mark shipping lanes, warn of shallow waters, or indicate the presence of a hazard. They are also used to mark fishing areas, mooring locations, and other points of interest.
