    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.

    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.
    A U.S. Coast Guard vessel with hull number 87349 is stationed in open ocean waters under a partly cloudy sky. A white object, possibly debris or a partially submerged vessel, is visible in the foreground on the water's surface. Personnel can be observed on the deck of the Coast Guard cutter, suggesting an active maritime 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.
