The proper pronunciation of “buoy” is “boo-ee.” It’s a noun that refers to a floating object used to mark a hazard or to point the presence of one thing underwater.
Buoys are necessary for navigation and security. They will mark the situation of reefs, shoals, and different hazards that would harm ships. They will also be used to point the situation of underwater cables or pipelines. Buoys are sometimes outfitted with lights or reflectors to make them seen at night time or in low-light circumstances.
