Proper use of moorings

• Approach from Down-Wind/Down-Current

• Approach carefully (lines, snorkelers, buoys,boats)

• Attach to eyed, floating pick-up line extending from float using your OWN bow-line: a carabiner clip may make this easier.

• Have a minimum of 6M of your line between boat and attachment point. Attach only at your boat's bow

CAUTION

• DO NOT tie or attach directly to Park Mooring.

• Bring your own attachment line and use at least 6M (20 feet) of it.

• DO NOT strain/use engine against the mooring.

• DO NOT attach more than ONE boat per mooring.

The goal of MBMP's mooring system

• Setting of additional moorings

• Replacement of Heavy Mass moorings

• Regular cleaning/periodic replacement of lines

• Deployment of Park moorings in marina and sea-side residential areas to allow sea grass re-colonization

• Our ultimate goal....
