Instructions

• Place a marker with a heavy weight in the exact location you are applying for. Use White Clorox as they are easy to locate. If using another type of bottle please provide a description on your application form NOTE: Buoys and floats are not acceptable as they are ambiguous and difficult to pinpoint in areas that have many moorings.
• Ensure your name is written clearly on the bottle along with the “APPLIED FOR” decal. Bottles with no name or decal will not be considered for approval.
• If no marker is present when the inspection is conducted, you will be notified and given a second opportunity to place a marker. After two inspections, and if still no marker, your application will be cancelled
• Once your spot is registered as a bona fide mooring it is your responsibility to keep it buoyed and marked with an up-to-date decal at all times. The department will monitor your spot on a regular basis and Unmarked or out of date moorings are considered illegal and may be removed or the license revoked.
