If so, the suggestion downthread for "dredged_channel" isn't necessarily going to match this, as the navigation channel isn't necessarily dredged. For those not familiar, navigation channels are marked with red buoys or markers down the right side of the channel when returning to land (red, right, return). Green buoys or markers go down the right side of the channel when you're going out to sea. In many places that have a formal separation between the directions of travel, white buoys may be down the middle of the channel, and traffic operates to the right side of the center buoys (though in absence of such buoys, traffic still generally operates in a righthand pattern). The red and green markers indicate that navigation should not occur outside that zone (though, at least in places I've navigated, this is almost always further out than what is visibly possible, as it's pretty common for bouys and markers to appear *well past* the riverbank on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers)
