"Can" buoys are navigational aids. they are black / green and have a flat top. They represent the right side (starboard side) of the navigational waterway when heading north or east. The left side of the waterway (port side) is designated by a red buoy with a pointed top. It is referred to as a "nun buoy" as opposed to "can buoy."
