Mooring Matters (click here for mooring status)
May 2011
The hard work of maintaining and refurbishing mooring supplies over the Winter is now largely behind us. although it's really a year-round business. Deployment of our moorings has already begun with a handful of the most popular sites already dealt with. The weather has not been our friend, but boat operators and divers have been doing a great job. The current status can usually be found by clicking the link at the head of this page. If in doubt, call Anne at Kingston Dive Charters, who always has current information to and and will be happy to take your charter booking on the same call. We welcome assistance with our mooring projects, but volunteers must appreciate that the work demands skill and some minimum training. If you're willing to accept this, please get in touch with Harold, our Mooring Director at harold@kingstondivecharters.com if you might be able to help. One area in which we always need assistance is dealing with ropes and splices. If you are experienced in splicing marine rope and line, please contact Harold. If you can't render practical assistance, we always appreciate donations to help us keep up the work of placing and maintaining the moorings. You can make these online by using the link to Canada Helps on our homepage.
It's always worth repeating why we place buoys or markers on the various wreck sites we enjoy. Mooring work is one of POW's core activities. The placement of buoys encourages appropriate mooring at vulnerable wreck sites and reduces the risk of anchor damage and other unintended harm. The presence of buoys that clearly advertise the actions of POW also serves an educational purpose.
If you'd like to adopt a buoy and have your business or other entity recognized on it get in touch with us using the 'Contact Us' page.
