What should be reported to the Coast Guard or government authorities as soon as possible?

A fish over a certain size
The discovery of a new species
Discharged contaminants like oil
A particularly successful fishing trip

The correct answer is: Discharged contaminants like oil

Discharged contaminants like oil should be reported to the Coast Guard or government authorities as soon as possible because it could pose a danger to marine life and the environment. Reporting it quickly can help prevent further damage and facilitate a timely cleanup response. Options A, B, and D do not have any immediate impact on the environment and therefore do not warrant the same level of urgent reporting. While a new species discovery may be interesting and a successful fishing trip may be exciting, they do not pose a threat that requires immediate action from authorities.
