    A group of researchers and volunteers are conducting a scientific assessment of a large marine mammal, likely a manatee or small cetacean, on a sandy shoreline. A measuring tape is being run along the length of the animal's body while multiple people stabilize and examine it. One person is wearing a 'The Nature Conservancy' hat, suggesting this is an organized conservation or research effort.

    Volunteers from Joint Task Force Guantanamo and U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay assist the U.S. Geological survey with assessing an adolescent Antillean manatee captured Nov. 11 as part of the Sirenia Project. The goal is to capture and radio tag as many of the sea mammals as possible so that scientists can gain a better understanding of the endangered species, and help communities such as U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay better protect them.

    A group of people are standing in shallow coastal water holding a large dark fishing net with white floats along its edge. A person in a blue shirt appears to be instructing or directing the group, gesturing with raised fingers. The activity appears to be a supervised net fishing or fish sampling exercise near a mangrove shoreline.

    A manatee is lying on what appears to be the deck of a boat or a hard surface, surrounded by green aquatic vegetation and rope. The animal appears to be out of water, possibly during a rescue or research operation, as a human hand and clothing are partially visible in the background. A pink and white rope is visible near the manatee's snout.
    A young man wearing a neon yellow volunteer t-shirt from a 'Run for the Dream' event (May 19-20, 2012, Williamsburg, VA) is holding small colorful objects in his hand near a waterfront. He is surrounded by several other people, one of whom is holding a camera and another holding what appears to be a blue tarp overhead. The setting appears to be an outdoor waterside event or activity.
    A manatee is resting on a blue tarp on land, surrounded by at least two people who appear to be handling or examining it. The animal appears to be a young or juvenile manatee based on its relatively compact size. This appears to be a wildlife rescue or research situation.
    A group of people are gathered closely together, appearing to attend to someone lying on a blue tarp on the ground. A man wearing a white 'Road Runner Sports' cap is holding a small white and purple medical device, possibly a pulse oximeter or similar monitoring tool. The scene suggests a medical assistance or first aid situation in an outdoor setting.
