    A Coast Guard 45-foot Response Boat -Medium crew monitors a safety zone off Maui as responders work to safely remove a large electrical cable from the mouth of a subadult humpback whale while off Maui March 11, 2017. The Coast Guard assisted responders from the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, Maui Ocean Safety, Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission and NOAA's West Maui response team by providing an additional platform work from and enforcing a safety zone in the area. The Coast Guard and NOAA enjoy a strong partnership in the Hawaiian Islands to ensure the safety of the public and whales. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Rob Lester)

    A U.S. Coast Guard member is seen from behind, wearing a red life vest labeled 'U.S. COAST GUARD' with reflective strips. The individual is looking out toward a body of water with a rocky, vegetation-covered coastline in the background. A white vessel is visible in the mid-distance on the water.
    A U.S. Coast Guard vessel is alongside a National Marine Sanctuary patrol boat designated R 3603 in open blue water near a green, hilly coastline with wind turbines visible in the background. Coast Guard personnel in blue uniforms and red life vests are interacting with crew members aboard the white sanctuary vessel. The scene appears to depict an inter-agency maritime coordination or boarding operation.
    A research or whale-watching vessel is positioned close to a whale at the ocean surface during golden hour near a rocky coastline. One person wearing a red life vest and blue cap stands at the bow railing, appearing to observe or interact with the whale, while another person operates the helm. The scene suggests a marine research or wildlife monitoring operation.
    A whale-watching scene near a rocky coastal hillside, likely in Hawaii, showing a white patrol or tour boat on blue ocean water with a whale tail (fluke) visible above the surface to the right of the vessel. A large crowd of spectators has gathered along a roadside overlook on the green hillside above the rocky cliffs, watching the whale activity below. Several vehicles are parked along the road on the hilltop, suggesting this is a popular whale-watching vantage point.
