ABSTRACT:
A self-scuttling buoyant pyrotechnic marine marker. A scuttling pellet of incendiary composition is provided adjacent the pyrotechnic candle, to be ignited as the candle becomes spent and to burn a hole in the side of the jacket, or to clear impurities or residue which may have built up during burning of the candle to block the smoke or flame emission hole of the marker. Scuttling is then virtually assured by simple wave action. In this way, the hazard of spent markers being washed ashore to pose a danger to humans or to pollute the environment is reduced.
