Default What are those wooden poles that stick up randomly out of the water by river shorelines?

I've seen these many times before and I have no idea what they are.

I live in Manhattan and I was walking along the Hudson and I saw these
wooden poles randomly sticking up out of the water. They were various
heights and they didn't seem to be doing anything. When I rode the
Staten Island Ferry over to Staten Island, when the ferry pulled up to
dock, I noticed a very large amount of these poles right by the docking
area, as well.

What are these poles for? Thanks.

Pegs to keep the bottom at the bottom.

Bill, that was an answer that is really dumb! I guess, that's all you
know.

Bert, do you really think that was funny? I thought it was a ridiculous
answer put there by someone with a feeble attempt at humor.

JimC,
I thought it was cute, it definitely wasn't a gut buster or make me shot
milk out of my nose, but it was cute.

You need to get a little stoned, Jim. :-) It'll allow you to appreciate the
absurd, especially when it's perfect, like Bill's answer.

It was a creative, imaginative and witty remark.

Too bad you have a pole shoved up your ass.

You are dumb as well as humor challenged. They could be anything. Old
pilings, channel markers, oyster bed markers.
