🔍 Key Concepts

• Western Rivers System buoyage when descending (downbound) the river • Meaning of green square daymarks and which side of the channel they normally mark • Difference between a passing/crossing daymark and other aids like dredging marks or mile boards

💭 Think About

• When you are going downriver, which side is considered the right bank, and how does that relate to the "red right returning" concept? • What does the shape and color (green square) normally tell you about the side of the channel in the U.S. Aids to Navigation System? • Among the choices, which ones are primarily for navigation channel sides versus distance or special operations (like dredging)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm how the Western Rivers system defines right/left bank when descending. • Verify the standard meaning of a green square daymark in the lateral system (which side of the channel it marks). • Eliminate any answer choices that are not used to mark the edge of the navigable channel (for example, signs used only to show distance).
