A red cone-shaped buoy marker, commonly referred to as a "nun buoy," is a navigational aid used in marine environments. It typically indicates safe passage for vessels and is often placed to mark the right side of a shipping channel when entering from the sea. The buoy is usually marked with the number "1" or similar identifiers and may also feature reflective materials for visibility at night. These buoys are part of a system that helps mariners navigate safely through waterways.
A red cone shaped buoy, called a nun buoy, usually marks the right side of the channel when you are returning from the sea or going upstream. Remember it by saying, red, right, returning.
