The markings on these buoys are oriented from the
perspective of being entered from a seaward direction
while the boater is going toward the port. Red buoys are
passed on the starboard (right) side when proceeding
from open water into port, and green buoys are passed
on the port (left) side. When navigating out of port, your
position to the buoys should be reversed: red buoys to
port (left) and green buoys to starboard (right).
Many bodies of water are entirely within the boundaries
of a single state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking
Systems have been devised for these waters. This sys-
tem uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and
colors to show regulatory or advisory information. These
markers are white with black letters and orange borders.
The information signies speed zones, restricted areas,
danger areas and general information.
Remember: Markings may vary by geographic loca-
tion. Always consult appropriate boating authorities
before boating in unfamiliar waters.
