A float for a barrier for a waterway, a waterway barrier including the float, and a method for forming the waterway barrier are provided. The float includes a caseless float body which is formed of a single, homogeneous material. The material may be a high density urethane or a functional equivalent.

A mooring system including a plurality of connected floats and weights being positively buoyant on a water surface and being negatively buoyant at a depth below the water surface. The mooring system also includes a trigger mechanism arranged to reduce the buoyancy of a portion of the connected floats and weights from a being positively buoyant to negatively buoyant to cause the portion of the connected floats and weights to sink below the water surface where the trigger mechanism changes the buoyance of the portion of the connected floats and weights by either adding a weight to one end or separating the end from a buoyant element.

A system and method for tracking marine equipment is provided. Generally, the system and method of the present disclosure are designed to generate indicia corresponding to the inventory level of marine equipment used for a particular marine activity. To facilitate the assignment of indicia reflecting the inventory level of marine equipment used for a marine activity, the system and method of the present disclosure uses a plurality of equipment profiles having a defined lower limit and quantity associated with each piece of marine equipment. The lower limit may be manually input or automatically generated. The quantity may be tracked by the system using equipment transmitters and equipment sensors. In a preferred embodiment, the indicia indicate whether the quantity of a piece of marine equipment has fallen below a certain specified level as defined by the user. Users may purchase new marine equipment from third-party retailers via the user interface.

A display system for use in a pool or a small body of water. The display system including an anchor, a floating platform tethered to the anchor, and at least one display element. The floating platform is generally flat. The generally flat floating platform provides buoyancy. The display element protruding up from the floating platform.

A buoy assembly with a carbon fiber body may include a first unit including a hollow core rod, a weight provided on the core rod, and an anchor connection part formed on one side of the weight, a second unit including multiple interior sections made from carbon fibers that are arranged radially along an outer perimeter of the core rod to form a hollow interior barrel and multiple exterior sections made from carbon fibers that are arranged radially along an outer perimeter of the interior barrel to form a hollow exterior barrel, and a third unit including an elevator pole configured to move up and down through an upper end of the core rod, a lantern mounted on an upper end of the elevator pole, a gear assembly engaged with the elevator pole, and a maintenance chamber holding the elevator pole and the gear assembly.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for a modular buoy deployment system including modules arranged to be assembled at a destination location and an aerial delivery apparatus arranged to deliver the buoy modules to the destination location. The modules are connectable to at least one other module and form a buoy when assembled. The module buoy deployment system also optionally includes a platform arranged to receive one or more aerial delivery apparatuses. Each module conforms to a delivery criteria of the aerial delivery apparatus. The module buoy deployment system also optionally includes a power system arranged to recharge the aerial delivery apparatus.
