    Two individuals wearing U.S. Coast Guard insignia, life vests, and protective gear are conducting an inspection or sampling operation on a small blue boat at sea. One person is operating a power drill on what appears to be a blue container or fuel tank, while the other holds a reference chart with color swatches. A third person is visible in the background seated in the boat.
    Two personnel in dark uniforms and life vests are aboard a small turquoise/white open boat that appears to be partially swamped or low in the water. The individuals appear to be conducting an inspection or boarding operation, with a larger white vessel visible in the background on the horizon. Red containers and various gear are visible in the boat.
    A U.S. Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter in distinctive orange livery hovers over the flight deck of a Coast Guard cutter during an at-sea operation. Two crew members on the flight deck appear to be handling equipment or cargo beneath the hovering aircraft. The ocean is visible in the background, indicating open-water operations.
    Two U.S. Coast Guard personnel in tactical gear are observing a distressed or abandoned blue fishing vessel named 'GIROSARIO' from their patrol boat. The fishing vessel appears to be listing or partially sinking, with numerous seabirds perched on its rigging and superstructure. An American flag is visible on the Coast Guard vessel in the foreground.
    A heavily weathered and listing fishing vessel named 'G. ROSARIO' with registration 'PE 429' is shown in open water, covered in rust and marine growth with numerous seabirds perched on its rigging. A U.S. Coast Guard cutter (hull number 619) is positioned nearby in the background, with what appears to be a Coast Guard helicopter (orange/red) visible between the two vessels. The scene suggests a maritime interdiction, rescue, or law enforcement operation.
    A U.S. Coast Guard cutter (hull number 610) is positioned alongside a heavily damaged and deteriorated fishing vessel named 'G. ROSARIO' with registration markings 'PE 425'. The fishing vessel appears severely burned or structurally compromised, with its rigging and superstructure largely destroyed. At least one person in a red jacket is visible aboard the distressed vessel, suggesting an active boarding or inspection operation.
