A Marine Patrol Officer spoke at an association meeting on Bear Island a few years ago. He answered quite a few questions about the Marine Patrol.
He was asked about the practice of using bleach bottles as markers for rocks, shallows etc. His answer was more practical than legal. He indicated that if they thought it was a good idea they would leave it, otherwise they would remove it.
Perhaps there is a "common law" right to identify hazards in front of your property.
