    A rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with orange and black markings, consistent with a Coast Guard or rescue vessel, is approaching a capsized or swamped small boat in open ocean waters. The smaller vessel appears to be partially submerged and overturned, with only its hull, outboard motor, and some debris visible above the waterline. Two personnel are visible aboard the rescue craft, apparently conducting a maritime rescue or recovery operation.

    Two individuals wearing life vests and dark clothing are leaning over the side of an inflatable rescue boat, releasing or handling a sea turtle entangled in green fishing net/trap gear. A Coast Guard cutter vessel is visible in the background on calm open ocean waters. This appears to be a marine wildlife rescue operation.
    A person wearing a blue uniform and orange life vest is leaning over the side of an inflatable orange rescue boat to release or rescue a sea turtle entangled in green netting attached to a buoy or container. The operation appears to be conducted by a Coast Guard crew, as evidenced by the white Coast Guard cutter vessel visible in the background. The scene takes place in open ocean under hazy conditions.
