Richard Russell, of Boston, congratulates a student completing fisheries law enforcement training, Sept. 11, 2014. Prior to conducting a patrol to enforce fisheries laws in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska, Coast Guard boarding teams spend a week training at NPRFTC, where the course includes fishery and gear regulations, fish species identification, types of Alaska fishing vessels, forms and documentation, and practical training on every stage of a fisheries law enforcement boarding. In 2014, NPRFTC trained 332 students from 28 Coast Guard units.
