    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 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 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.
    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.

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.
