🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA-B buoyage system used in the United States • The meaning of odd and even numbers on lateral buoys • The "returning from seaward" rule for red and green buoys

💭 Think About

• When you are coming IN from the sea, which side are the red buoys on and what kind of numbers do they carry? • Do buoy numbers get larger or smaller as you go from the open ocean toward an inland port or upriver? • Look at the choices: which one correctly describes BOTH the direction of numbering (increase/decrease) AND the side (odd/even to starboard)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how buoy numbers change from seaward toward land in the IALA-B system • Confirm which side (port or starboard) carries odd-numbered buoys when returning from sea in U.S. waters • Make sure the choice you pick talks about numbering pattern, not just size, reflectivity, or Light List cross‑references
