A mooring buoy in Hawaii is a floating device anchored to the seabed that provides a secure point for boats to tie up without dropping an anchor. These buoys help protect coral reefs and other marine environments by preventing anchors from damaging the ocean floor. They are typically found in popular mooring locations and are often maintained by local agencies or organizations to ensure safe and responsible boating practices.
