A dolphin. A dolphin is usually made up of many wooden pilings, driven into the ground under the water that protrude up out of the water and are banded together with wire rope. There is usually one piling that is driven into the bottom and then other pilings are driven into the bottom around the center one. The center piling usually sticks up higher than the surrounding piles to allow a mooring line to be placed around it. Dolphins are usually found around docks and piers. They allow for some force to be placed against them so the ship can pivot on them depending on their size and the amount of pilings that are used.

What is the description of a Mooring Buoy?
Mooring Buoys are used to keep one end of a mooring cable or chain on the water's surface so that ships or boats can tie on to it. The two preferred designs for mooring buoys are a traditional buoy with hardware or a buoy with a tube through the center. Both offer reliable flotation and will last for several seasons, depending upon the salinity of the water. A permanent mooring system, when properly designed, should securely position a boat so that it can be left unattended, with little attention, for long periods of time. A mooring system usually consists of a mooring buoy (to float the chain), a mooring anchor and a length of chain (running between the anchor and the mooring buoy). Also the proper ground tackle includes correct sized galvanized shackles and swivels.* http://www.go2marine.com/productcenters/mooring/round white buoy with horizontal blue stripe
