Yellow buoys are weather stations.
Yellow buoys are used to caution boats to stay away from them. They can be used to indicate that there are underwater pipes, dredged lines or a shoal area. Yellow is used as a general warning on buoys, but those that are all yellow should be kept away from.
Yellow triangles and squares can typically be found on channel buoys and markers to indicate certain information to boaters. Yellow triangles usually indicate caution or danger, such as shoals or rocks, while yellow squares often mark information or regulatory signs, such as speed limits or navigation rules.
