    A rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with an American flag is towing a large green navigational buoy across vivid turquoise open water. The crew members are wearing orange survival/immersion suits. A second vessel is visible in the background near what appears to be a green channel marker.
    A young male worker wearing an orange life vest and work gloves is crouched on a vessel deck, working with heavy rusted chains and a pneumatic or hydraulic tool. The scene involves large corroded buoy-like objects covered in marine growth, suggesting recent retrieval from the ocean. The setting appears to be the deck of a Coast Guard or maritime recovery vessel under clear blue skies.
    A buoy tender vessel is shown with crew members working on deck handling large navigational buoys. The ship appears to be operating near a tropical coastline with turquoise water and a sandy beach visible in the background. Multiple workers wearing safety gear are engaged in buoy maintenance or retrieval operations.
