    An aerial drone photograph shows a red and black vessel, likely a dredge or hopper barge, navigating through open coastal waters. The ship appears to be carrying a load of sand or sediment on its deck, suggesting it may be involved in dredging or beach replenishment operations. A sandy barrier island or spit with vegetation is visible in the background.

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) dredge MURDEN conducts maintenance dredging in the federal channel of the Ocean City Inlet, July 31, 2026. This dredging cycle, the second of the summer season, lasts approximately 15 days to remove about 5,000 cubic yards of material. The dredged material will be placed at the near-shore placement site along Assateague Island to mitigate the impacts of sediment transport and erosion. By launching this second dredging cycle, USACE is fulfilling its commitment to a safe maritime passage, keeping the waters navigable for local commercial vessels, recreational boaters, and the U.S. Coast Guard's lifesaving missions.

    Two individuals are walking together along a paved path in what appears to be a coastal or waterfront area. One person is wearing military camouflage (OCP/MultiCam) uniform with a patrol cap, while the other is dressed in civilian clothing with khaki pants and a blue shirt. They appear to be engaged in conversation while walking, with multi-story residential or hotel buildings visible in the background.
    A black-hulled vessel named 'MURDEN' is underway on open water under a partly cloudy sky. The ship appears to be a self-propelled barge or small bulk carrier with a superstructure and wheelhouse positioned at the stern. A red flag is visible at the bow, and crew members can be seen on the upper deck near the wheelhouse.
    Two people, a man and a woman, stand on the deck of a vessel observing a large pipe discharging turbid, sediment-laden water. The scene appears to be aboard a dredging or pumping vessel moored near a waterfront with buildings visible in the background. An orange life ring is mounted on the railing behind them.
    A group of four people are gathered on what appears to be the deck of a large vessel or near a dock structure. Two men are engaged in conversation, with one gesturing expressively while speaking. The setting includes industrial maritime equipment, stairs, railings, and open water visible in the background.
    A person in military camouflage uniform is observed from behind, standing at the helm or bridge of a vessel, looking out through large windows toward the bow and open water. Another vessel or barge is visible directly ahead, with churning white wake water between the two craft. The scene appears to depict a maritime military or naval operation, possibly a vessel escort, towing, or harbor navigation exercise.
    Four individuals are gathered in what appears to be the bridge or pilot house of a vessel, engaged in a discussion. One person in U.S. Army camouflage uniform is present alongside civilians, one of whom has a white beard and is speaking. The setting includes navigation and control equipment consistent with a commercial or government vessel.
    A middle-aged man wearing glasses and an American flag baseball cap sits at the helm of a vessel's bridge or wheelhouse, smiling at the camera. He is surrounded by a complex array of navigation and control equipment including monitors, switches, and communication devices. Two other individuals are partially visible in the background.
