Moorings

I have seen several moorings in the folly and ashley river which do not appear to be part of the marinas. Does anyone know who the authority is that controls moorings, and how one can go about permitting/buy/leasing a mooring?

I’m trying to figure out if I can do this, and avoid the monthly costs of a slip while being more secure than just anchoring.

Here is a couple of links. I don’t know who to tell you to call, if you need to call anybody. the City Marina, Charleston PD?
