The Coast Guard, using a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium, terminated the voyage of a 23-foot charter vessel in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, due to an expired operator's license and evidence of illegal fishing on May 18, 2015. During a random safety boarding a crew from Coast Guard Station Woods Hole, Massachusetts, found the master's license had expired in 2008 and there were more than 100 black sea bass aboard.
