In the United States, they are part of the Aids to Navigation System, specifically signifying the "right side" of a channel when returning from sea (known as "red right returning"). Additionally, red buoys can also denote specific areas, such as exclusion zones or no-wake zones. It's important for mariners to recognize these markers to ensure safe navigation.
