question on swim area buoys

Hi all. Just got up for summer vacation. Yea!!

A question on swim area bouys. Posting here as it affects boaters.

Under what circumstances, if any, could I put out a swim area buoy? This is an "standard" white buoy with swimming area markings that would be anchored to the bottom. Ideally, I would like to put out about 100 ft from shore as the jet skiers keep cutting to close to our point and endangering the swimmers. (yes, I know they are breaking the 150 ft rule, but they either don't know, can't judge distance, or (most likely) really don't care).

Is a permit required? If so, by whom and how/where to I apply?

Thanks
