U.S. Army divers from the 86th Engineer Dive Detachment conduct final safety checks on the surface before beginning a deepwater dive to retrieve derelict fishing nets, crab pots, and other hazards to marine life on the bottom of the Puget Sound near Blaine, Washington, July 18, 2023. Lost equipment poses a significant risk to the marine ecosystem as it continues to "ghost fish," ensnaring and killing sea life. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Chandler Coats)
