Each site at which batteries may have been lost can be described as
falling into one of three categories:
1) Fixed Aids. Those aids which are currently located at a fixed,
known locations, designated on nautical charts and light lists, by
latitude and longitude, and are attached to the bottom with piles
or other construction.
2) Floating Aids. Those aids which are currently located at a known
location, designated on nautical charts and light lists, by
latitude and longitude, and are anchored in place by a mooring
system.
