The Director, Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, as authorized by Title 12 MRSA §1894, adopts the following Rules and Regulations.
The Maine State Aids To Navigation System is the basic system of waterway markers used on state waters as recommended by the U.S. Coast Guard for the purpose of minimizing hazards to navigation.
Maine cooperates in this nationwide marking system to insure that these buoys and markers will have the same meaning in all states. The system is consistent with the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) Maritime Buoyage System (Region B) and is compatible with existing U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
