Liberty Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 What are all the red buoys just outside the harbour entrance for? No numbers or letters. Gummage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaicemat Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Just what I was wondering, surely can't mean the channel markers. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 The ones going straight out mark the swash channel and are numbered. The others towards the Isle of wight, mark the East Looe channel, which can be a little shallow on Low Water Springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Posted September 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 No, these are small red buoys just outside the swash channel, some are 8 metres apart, others seem to be single and randomly placed. I don’t think they are pots or long lines as they are too close to the channel. Perhaps environmental tests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At low water you can usually see the nets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Thomas Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Whelk pots or dare I say it nets for rays is a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohgreatone Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 They are orangy red, basketball size all around the swash, I was told they are nets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
