A buoy that is white with vertical stripes is typically a "safe water buoy," also known as a "fairway buoy." This type of buoy marks the limits of safe water and indicates that navigators can pass on either side. The vertical stripes often help in identifying the buoy's purpose, making it easier for mariners to navigate safely in open waters.
A white marker with black vertical stripes typically indicates a navigational aid, such as a channel marker or a buoy.
