    A gloved hand wearing a black nitrile glove and orange sleeve is holding a clump of sand mixed with dark, tar-like material and organic debris such as roots or seaweed strands. The material appears to be contaminated beach sand, possibly collected during an environmental cleanup or pollution assessment. A clear plastic bag or container is visible beneath the hand.

    A member from a contracted cleanup team picks up a tar ball on Crystal Cove Beach in Newport Beach, California, Oct. 14, 2021. Tar ball collection on Orange County beaches has decreased, and recovered tar balls are increasingly smaller in size and more dispersed.

    The image shows a close-up of a large, rough-textured rock formation resting on sandy ground, with a prominent black patch visible on its surface. Behind it, a layered sedimentary rock face with horizontal striations is visible in the background. The setting appears to be a coastal or arid desert environment based on the fine sand and rock composition.
    The image shows a natural tar or bitumen seep flowing down the face of a sedimentary rock cliff or outcrop. The thick, viscous black substance has oozed from a crack or fissure in the layered sandstone or limestone formation and is slowly dripping downward. This appears to be a natural hydrocarbon seep, where petroleum-based material migrates to the surface through rock fractures.
    A gloved hand wearing a black nitrile glove and orange sleeve is holding a clump of sand mixed with dark, tar-like material and organic debris such as roots or seaweed strands. The material appears to be contaminated beach sand, possibly collected during an environmental cleanup or pollution assessment. A clear plastic bag or container is visible beneath the hand.
    A group of hazmat/environmental cleanup workers in high-visibility safety gear are conducting a beach remediation operation along a sandy coastline. The workers are kneeling and crouching on the sand, collecting contaminated material into clear plastic bags. The scene is consistent with an oil spill or environmental contamination cleanup effort.
