A mooring buoy is a floating device anchored to the seabed that provides a secure point for vessels to tie up without dropping anchor. These buoys are typically used in harbors, marinas, and popular anchorage areas to prevent damage to the seabed and surrounding marine life. They often have specific markings or colors to indicate their purpose and may be equipped with information about local regulations or contact details for harbor authorities. Mooring buoys help to organize boat traffic and ensure safe docking for vessels.

When approaching a mooring bouy?

Again this is a VERY broad question, with no mention to the size of the vessel, conditions or the location of the buoy, I am going to say speed of the vessel is a factor. The length of your vessel, in relation to the swing. The scope of the line required to moor. The type of connection you will be using and the duration are factors to take into account when approaching a mooring buoy.
