    A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter, painted in its distinctive international orange livery, hovers over rocky coastal waters conducting a rescue operation. A rescue basket or litter is suspended below the helicopter on a hoist cable, appearing to carry a person being lifted from the turbulent surf. The scene shows active search and rescue operations near a rocky shoreline with rough, churning ocean water.
    The image shows a rocky coastal shoreline photographed from a boat, with rough surf crashing against large boulders at the base of a steep cliff face covered in dense vegetation. A small group of people can be seen on the rocks in the middle-left area of the frame, accompanied by what appears to be a bright green inflatable float or kayak. The foreground shows turquoise ocean water with white foam, and a black boat railing or pole is partially visible in the lower right corner.
