    U.S. Coast Guard personnel at what appears to be a station on Padre Island, Texas, are documenting a large illegal catch of fish laid out on a concrete surface. The haul consists of numerous red snapper and multiple sharks arranged in rows, likely seized from the boat visible on a trailer in the background. Officers in black uniforms are photographing and cataloging the confiscated marine life.
