Buoys.

[Liberty]

What are all the red buoys just outside the harbour entrance for? No numbers or letters.

 

[Rob]

Big ones? Small ones? Where do you mean?

Just what I was wondering, surely can't mean the channel markers.

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.

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?

These will be for nets or pots laid by people fishing the area. At low water you can usually see the nets.

Whelk pots or dare I say it nets for rays is a possibility.

They are orangy red, basketball size all around the swash, I was told they are nets.
