In short, hundreds of thousands at least. If you include ocean monitoring meteorological stations not limited to buoys, likely in the millions.
Weather buoys are deployed by so numerous organizations no complete list could be reasonably compiled. Many networks are integral to modern safety standards on the sea. Scientific organizations keep incomplete lists insofar as they need to share or corroborate data. It is common for scientific bodies to deploy thousands, and this data is supplemented by meteorological stations on the shore, oil rigs, and on board ships to give a more complete picture.
There are few international laws applying to buoys in international waters, and every major world military maintains its own uncompromisable network as a measure of national security (which is shared only after it is deemed tactically obsolete should a conflict break out). This is supplemented by the meteorological stations now common on board any modern war vessel, and more and more commonly on commercial vessels.
