    Three individuals wearing U.S. Coast Guard orange life vests are leaning over the side of an inflatable rescue boat (RIB) to assist what appears to be a marine animal, likely a dolphin or small whale, at the water's surface. One person is using a long pole while another reaches down with blue gloves to interact with the animal. The scene appears to be a marine wildlife rescue or disentanglement operation.

    Several personnel aboard an orange rigid inflatable boat (RIB) are retrieving a white spherical or cylindrical object from the water using a pole and gloved hands. The crew members appear to be wearing uniforms consistent with a coast guard or maritime agency, with orange life preservers visible on the vessel. The operation appears to be a recovery or retrieval mission conducted on open, calm ocean water.
