    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 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 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.
