The Coast Guard Captain of the Port has excluded all traffic from a section of a port, while a regatta is taking place. The buoys marking this exclusion area will be __________.

Correct Answer: Option A — orange and white

Regulatory and informational markers, including those for exclusion zones like regattas, are defined by 33 CFR 62.33. These buoys are white with orange bands and geometric shapes. The orange and white color scheme provides high visibility and distinguishes these regulatory marks from standard lateral or cardinal navigational aids.
