Under the direct warning of both agencies, no one else has placed a marker buoy on the boulder either. The reason - legal liability. If you mark the rock, then technically you are liable for the position of the bouy and any damage or injury that may result as a consequence of the bouy being there.Waxy

The reason that the RCMP or F&W have not marked the obstruction and advised anyone else not to do so is that they have no jurisdiction. Any markers, changes, construction etc. dealing with navigable waterways needs to be addressed with Transport Canada.
