Midline Floats improve
the seafloor environment of the Salish Sea
and are required for all new mooring installations.
Midline floats ensure that the line between the mooring anchor and the surface buoy does not drag and scour the bottom during low tides or extreme current conditions.
They are a simple way to protect sensitive eelgrass and other aquatic vegetation like understory kelp. These environments provide important habitat for shellfish, crabs, herring, juvenile salmon, rock fish and other young bottom fish, which are part of an intricate web of life—including our Orcas!— in the Salish Sea.
Midline floats also keep the mooring line from dragging across rocks and so increase the integrity and lifespan of the line and so your entire mooring system.
