Remember this!
Mooring and jetty are both related to boats and water transportation, but they serve different purposes. A mooring is a device used to secure a boat in place, while a jetty is a structure built out into the water to protect the shore from erosion or to provide a platform for boats to dock. While mooring is typically located in open water and is often submerged underwater, jetty is built on or near the shore and is more visible and substantial.
