A buoy with red and green bands typically indicates a channel marker used in maritime navigation. The red band signals the right side of a channel when approaching from the sea, while the green band indicates the left side. This system helps boaters navigate safely through narrow or hazardous waters. These markers are part of the IALA buoyage system, which is used internationally.

What do you do when you see a bouy with a number 3 a green light?

This is a channel marker, placed on the edge of a channel. Green markers will always have an odd number on them. If you are heading upstream it should be to your left. If you are heading downstream it should be to your right. It will be opposite a red marker or bouy with an even number on it. To aid in navigating, the term "red, right, returning" is used meaning as you return from open waters (head upstream), the red marker, bouy, sign etc, should be to your right. That means the green one, in your example with a 3 on it, should be to your left. If its on your right side, you are outside the cleared channel area.
