GULF OF MAINE (Dec. 8, 2007)- A view of important fishing grounds is seen through a window of a Coast Guard HU-25 Falcon jet on a patrol near the U.S. and Canadian border. Falcon jets routinely fly from their base at Air Station Cape Cod, Mass., to patrol the lucrative fishing grounds of the Gulf of Maine and Georges Banks as part of Coast Guard's commercial fisheries enforcement duties. The over flights are to make sure commercial fishermen follow the established rules and regulations for fisheries management in the region, and stay out of areas closed to fishing to allow for stocks to rebuild.
