    A U.S. Coast Guard rigid inflatable boat (RIB) numbered 23171 is alongside a larger vessel, loaded with multiple black-wrapped packages consistent with seized contraband. Several Coast Guard personnel in orange life vests and helmets are aboard the RIB, appearing to transfer or secure the packages. The scene is consistent with a drug interdiction operation conducted at sea.
    The image shows a large quantity of wrapped and bundled packages stacked against a white wall on what appears to be the deck of a vessel or dock area. The packages are arranged in multiple groupings of varying sizes, some loosely bundled and others tightly stacked in brick-like formations. This appears consistent with a law enforcement seizure documentation photograph.

    An aerial view of a maritime interdiction operation, likely conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard, showing personnel in an inflatable rigid-hull boat (RHIB) recovering bales wrapped in netting from the ocean. A crew member on the ship's deck wearing a yellow hard hat is assisting in hoisting the netted packages aboard. The packages, consistent in appearance with drug interdiction seizures, are being lifted from the water using a cargo net.
    The image shows a large cluster of rectangular packages floating on the surface of open ocean water. The packages appear to be wrapped in dark plastic or tape and are loosely grouped together, connected by what appears to be a green rope or line visible at the lower right. This type of imagery is consistent with law enforcement documentation of contraband seized at sea.
