    A Coast Guard Cutter Vigilant boarding team removes over 1,786 ounds of cocaine from a suspected low profile vessel which was interdicted while on patrol in the Eastern Pacific Ocean Jan. 29, 2020. The removal of large quantities of contraband through interdictions such as these disrupts the operations of transnational criminal organizations, deterring violence and promoting stability of governments in the region.

    A U.S. Coast Guard rigid inflatable boat (RIB) is conducting a nighttime maritime interdiction operation alongside what appears to be a low-profile vessel or semi-submersible, commonly associated with drug trafficking. Multiple Coast Guard personnel in orange survival vests are visible on the red RIB, which is positioned adjacent to the gray, low-riding vessel. At least one individual is visible seated on the gray vessel near its stern.
