Russian Vessel Seized Off Alaska for Fisheries Violation
A Russian fishing ship was seized by a Coast Guard cutter for trawling within 12 miles of the Alaska coast and towed to Kodiak. The seizure marked the second such action in three weeks as U.S. rights extended to the 12 mile limit under a new law taking effect March 15. The Storis reported difficult seas but made progress toward port with the seized vessel, W-457, near Seal Cape in the Shumagin Islands.
