Coast Guard Expands Powers for Boarding Foreign Vessels
The Coast Guard will be empowered starting Tuesday to board foreign fishing vessels with evidence of U.S. regulation violations. Surveillance will focus on major fishing grounds aided by air reconnaissance, with plans to place American inspectors aboard for weeks. Satellite and radio detection may follow, and crews may use multilingual preprinted cards. The service remains tasked with answering distress calls anywhere, illustrated by a January storm that yielded 25 calls and at least 23 missing from a Panamanian ship with 11 crews.
