Here is what Capt Brooks posted on the subject: "A number of people place "swim buoys" or mooring buoys off the ends of
their docks. We don't have a problem with this as long as these buoys
don't interfere with the normal flow of traffic for the slough and are
not placed more than 25-feet from the end of the dock."
To me, that says they are not illegal if within 25 feet of ones dock,
but they are also not official in any respect (note he doesn't say they are "legal" either). They also do not signify
'ownership" of the water, but should be seen as a reminder to be careful (I have
seen many that are at far greater distances than 25' and never get
removed). My neighbors would not be able to get home without passing
within 25 feet of my dock (or the one across the water) and I would look
ridiculous in trying to prevent their passage. It all boils down to common
sense.....if someone idles by a dock, they are doing nothing wrong
(even if you have swim buoys).
