    Two personnel wearing orange rescue/Coast Guard jackets are working along a rocky shoreline near a body of water. They appear to be conducting a search or recovery operation near the water's edge, with a Yamaha-engine boat visible in the upper left. The scene takes place during what appears to be late fall or winter, evidenced by bare deciduous trees and overcast skies.

    Two personnel wearing orange rescue/Coast Guard jackets are working along a rocky shoreline near a body of water. They appear to be conducting a search or recovery operation near the water's edge, with a Yamaha-engine boat visible in the upper left. The scene takes place during what appears to be late fall or winter, evidenced by bare deciduous trees and overcast skies.
    Two workers in high-visibility safety vests are standing on an aluminum work boat near a shoreline, overseeing what appears to be an environmental spill response operation on a river or lake. A yellow containment boom is deployed across the water to contain what appears to be a reddish-brown substance visible on the water surface. Additional vessels and equipment are visible in the background, suggesting a coordinated cleanup effort.
    A waterfront park scene on an overcast day, with several white plastic-wrapped objects in the foreground, likely shrub-wrapped plants or supplies. A paved walkway runs along the shoreline, bordered by a rocky embankment and a calm river or lake. A white Mitsubishi SUV is parked nearby, and a person is standing on the walkway in the background.
    A briefing or planning meeting is taking place in a wood-paneled hall with multiple personnel seated around folding tables arranged in a U-shape. Several attendees are wearing U.S. Coast Guard uniforms in both blue and red/orange, while others wear civilian or high-visibility work clothing. One individual is standing and appears to be addressing the group, suggesting a coordinated operational or emergency response briefing.
    A white multi-deck towboat or pushboat is positioned close to a rocky shoreline on a calm river or wide waterway. The vessel appears to be either grounded or maneuvering very near the riprap bank. In the foreground, two white buoys with blue markings and a coiled yellow rope are visible on the embankment.
