Petty Officer 1st Class Jay Bermudez, a Maritime Enforcement Specialist from Honolulu, hangs off the port side of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s response boat in search of recreational vessels that may pose a threat to the large concentration of whales off the coast of Maui, Hawaii, Feb. 14, 2020. The Coast Guard encourages vessel operators to stay vigilante while traveling at speed on the water and asks that they keep an eye out for whales at all times in order to avoid potential collisions or accidents.
