What do green navigational aids with odd numbers indicate?

Starboard side
Port side
Exclusion area
Controlled area

The correct answer is: Port side

Green navigational aids with odd numbers indicate the port side. These aids are part of the lateral system of buoyage used to mark channels and safe waterways. According to the system, even-numbered aids are red and indicate the starboard side when returning from the sea or navigating upstream, while the green, odd-numbered aids mark the port side in the same context. This system helps navigators understand their position in relation to safe passage and ensures that they can safely navigate inland or coastal waterways. Recognizing the importance of these markers is crucial for avoiding hazards and maintaining safe boating practices.
