The Coast Guard intercepts illegal contraband far from U.S. shores as a core part of its maritime law enforcement mission.

By patrolling deep water transit zones with cutters and aircraft, the service stops illicit threats on the high seas ensuring they never have the chance to reach our borders.

Thanks for watching!
