We arrived at the ZTA shortly before 15:00. There were a couple of small boats in the center of the ZTA towards the north; we could confirm one was a diver boat but the other one left before we could confirm. During the evening and night there were some small fishing boats in the southwest outside the ZTA. We sent the drone to observe them, and we saw a small boat with a net and the Navy vessel Interceptor next to them.
