I still don't dare venture inside where my GPS indicated it use to be

I first noticed the missing buoy off Dockham Shores Road in 2012. I wrote the MP after my fall survey in 2013. In early 2014, I met with the MP and they declared that the buoy had been decommissioned. In looking through my notes, I can't find any indication of a serious hazard behind this former buoy. My hunch is that it was initially placed there at the request of local resident.

As for other posters in this thread, could you be more specific as to the location of the missing buoys. You can email me directly, if you wish.

I just noticed today that the black top outside our house in lady maiden cove, Meredith bay is gone. It was there yesterday!

I swam out there last year and saw a lot of boulders. Standing on one or 2 of them left me about 3ft of water clearance.

Anyway didn't know where to report it and the numbers for MP were not relevant for this so I thought I'd let you know.

I contacted Marine Patrol on three different occasions beginning in mid-June on a missing black buoy (there were two, one is missing since ice out) on the east side of Long Island just out from Harilla Landing by Lands End. Each return call, they noted they had received the previous call and it was on the list. As of last week, it still hadn't been replaced.

Anyone know how to escalate this? I'm worried with fall approaching and low water levels, this could cause some problems.
