A buoy with red and green colors typically indicates lateral navigation markers in maritime contexts. The red buoy marks the port (left) side of the channel when entering from the sea, while the green buoy marks the starboard (right) side. This color-coding helps sailors navigate safely through channels and avoid hazards. The specific shapes and numbers on the buoys may also provide additional navigational information.
