    An aerial photograph shows multiple controlled burns of oil on the ocean surface, producing large columns of thick black smoke rising into the sky. Several vessels are visible in the surrounding water, likely monitoring or supporting the burn operations. The water surface shows visible oil contamination with a dark, iridescent sheen spreading outward from the burn sites.

    Clouds of smoke billow up from controlled burns taking place in the Gulf of Mexico May 19. The controlled burns were set to reduce the amount of oil in the water following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. (Coast Guard photo/Chief Petty Officer John Kepsimelis, U.S. Coast Guard)

    An aerial photograph shows multiple controlled burns of oil on the ocean surface, producing large columns of thick black smoke rising into the sky. Several vessels are visible in the surrounding water, likely monitoring or supporting the burn operations. The water surface shows visible oil contamination with a dark, iridescent sheen spreading outward from the burn sites.
    A work crew of four people operates two connected pontoon boats on a river beneath a rusted steel truss railroad bridge. The workers, wearing safety vests and life jackets, appear to be conducting a water survey, sampling, or environmental monitoring operation. The setting includes lush green vegetation along the riverbanks and a concrete bridge abutment nearby.
    A work scene on a waterway showing three workers on and around a dredging vessel operated by 'KER BROS. Construction' based in Illinois. Workers wearing safety vests and gloves are handling nets and equipment over the water, suggesting a fish sampling or aquatic survey operation alongside the dredging barge. A smaller aluminum boat is positioned adjacent to the larger dredging vessel.
    Three workers in safety gear are operating on an aluminum flat-bottom boat on a body of water. The boat contains multiple large black tubs/buckets holding live fish, along with a generator and other equipment. The workers appear to be conducting a fish collection or transfer operation, with overhead chains and hooks suggesting a crane or lift system nearby.
    A worker wearing a high-visibility vest, face shield, and yellow gloves is seated in a white skid steer loader (likely a Bobcat). The bucket of the loader is filled with a large quantity of dead fish, suggesting a fish removal or environmental cleanup operation. The setting appears to be a park or grassy area with trees and vehicles visible in the background.
    An outdoor press conference or public announcement is taking place near a waterway or marina. A man in a green polo shirt with a badge/ID is speaking at a wooden podium with a microphone, while a TV cameraman in a blue shirt films the event. Additional attendees, including a man in a suit, are visible in the background.
    An outdoor fish processing or cleanup operation is underway, likely following a fish kill or environmental remediation event. Workers in high-visibility safety vests are handling large quantities of dead fish using Bobcat skid-steer loaders, buckets, and folding tables. A truck bearing 'ET Environmental, Inc.' branding with a phone number is visible in the background, suggesting a professional environmental services operation.
