    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.

    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.
