After running aground, what is the first thing you should check for?

Leaks
The nearest landmark
Depth of water
Damage to wildlife

The correct answer is: Leaks

After running aground, the first thing you should check for is if there are any leaks present. This is the most immediate and important issue to address as it could potentially lead to the sinking of the vessel. Checking for the nearest landmark (B) or the depth of water (C) may be important after addressing the potential leak to assess the situation, but they are not the first thing that needs to be checked. Damage to wildlife (D) is also a serious concern, but it is not the priority immediately after running aground. It is crucial to first prioritize the safety of the vessel and those on board by checking for any potential leaks.
