    A small-boat crew from the Coast Guard Cutter Steadfast prepares to launch the mini-boat Pacific Lotus off the coast of Baja, Mexico, March 2, 2018, as part of an international science project involving students from various schools in Oregon and Japan.

    The mini-boat Pacific Lotus is one of 6 mini-boats launched off at various points along the western shore of North America that have solar-paneled GPS trackers built into them to help students track the journey in hopes of the boats making it across the Pacific Ocean to Japan.

At least three personnel are visible, with one wearing an orange life vest/PFD, handling rigging and a triangular white mesh net attached to a frame. The scene appears to be a research or Coast Guard vessel conducting nighttime operations.
