Q

Which of the following statements regarding buoys on the Mississippi River is TRUE?

🔍 Key Concepts

• River aids to navigation vs. seacoast aids and how often they move, especially on rivers like the Mississippi • How buoy positions are normally shown on charts for shifting channels • What information is and is NOT typically listed in the U.S. Coast Guard Light List, Volume V

💭 Think About

• Think about whether river buoys on a constantly changing river bottom can truly be held in one fixed, permanent position all the time. • Consider what the chart note or legend usually says about the exactness of buoy positions, especially on rivers. • Ask yourself: Does the Light List give precise positions for every river buoy, or does it mainly give information for fixed lights, prominent aids, and major floating aids?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether river buoys are frequently moved to mark the best water as the channel shifts. • Confirm whether charts describe buoy locations as exact (fixed) or approximate—look for that wording in study materials or chart notes. • Verify what type of aids are actually listed in Light List Volume V and whether it promises positions for all river buoys.
