The crew of the USCGC Galveston Island (WPB-1349) makes contact with commercial fishing vessels near Honolulu in early November to conduct boardings looking for compliance with state and federal regulations. Of the 10 total boardings, the crew terminated the voyages of three fishing vessels and issued 39 notices of violation, including two fisheries violations, two potential marine pollution violations and 35 safety violations. They also had two U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service special agents aboard which was the first time the Coast Guard engaged in this partnership. The USFWS agents were looking for Endangered Species and Lacey Act violations, thus facilitating the protection of natural resources that the fishing fleet encounters in the region.
