    The Ecuadorian naval vessel LAE Isla San Cristobal (LG 30) sails toward the Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf (WMSL 750) while conducting a joint patrol to detect and deter potential Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in the vicinity of the Galapagos Islands, Aug. 28, 2020.

    An aerial view of a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) carrying approximately six personnel in tactical gear, including black helmets, face coverings, and orange life vests. The personnel appear to be law enforcement or military operators, with visible text suggesting U.S. Coast Guard affiliation. The boat is underway on open blue water, photographed from an elevated position on a larger vessel.

    The image is taken from the deck of a vessel at sea, showing an open ocean view under an overcast sky. In the foreground, a mounted optical or navigational instrument (likely a pelorus or bearing compass) is visible on the ship's rail. Two distant vessels are visible on the horizon, one to the port side and one to the starboard side.
