This is a mooring buoy or mooring ball. They are used in either a public or private capacity to moor your vessel to. In a way it acts as an anchor for your vessel. Instead of dropping an anchor though, you simply pull up to the buoy and slip on a line (rope) and make fast. It also the ONLY acceptable buoy you may do this to.
