What symbol do Information Buoys display to boaters?

An orange diamond
An orange square
A blue circle
A green triangle

The correct answer is: An orange square

Information Buoys typically display an orange square symbol to boaters, indicating the need to stay informed and proceed with caution. Option A, An orange diamond, is incorrect because orange diamond symbols are used for Hazard Buoys, which mark potential dangers in the water such as rocks or shoals. Option C, A blue circle, is incorrect because blue circle symbols are used for Safe Water Buoys, which mark navigable water or indicate well-defined channels. Option D, A green triangle, is incorrect because green triangle symbols are used for Information Buoys with Safe Water on either side, indicating that boaters are entering an area of safe water and should keep the buoy on their starboard (right) side when passing.
