When a buoy is in position only during a certain period of the year, where may the dates when the buoy is in position be found?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Seasonal buoys and how their operation periods are documented • Differences in purpose between Light List, Coast Pilot, and Notice to Mariners • What chart marginal notes and symbols usually contain (and what they do NOT contain in detail)

💭 Think About

• Which publication is designed to give detailed information about individual aids to navigation, including characteristics and operational periods? • Which choice is primarily for sailing directions and local harbor information rather than specific buoy operating dates? • Which choice is mainly for reporting changes and corrections, not the standing, routine details for each aid?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which source is the official detailed reference for each aid to navigation (lights, buoys, daybeacons) in U.S. waters • Check whether temporary or seasonal operation dates are normally listed in a permanent reference or only in a periodic update document • Ask yourself: if you were planning months ahead and needed to know if that buoy is usually there in July, which reference would have that stable, tabulated information?
