    A Coast Guard Cutter Vigilant boarding team intercepts a suspected low profile vessel with aproximately 2,183 pounds of cocaine onboard while on patrol in the Eastern Pacific Ocean Jan. 9, 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.
    A white military or coast guard vessel is approaching a pier or dock in a tropical harbor setting. Several crew members wearing blue uniforms, orange life vests, and blue hard hats are stationed on the bow of the ship, likely preparing for docking operations. The background features dense green tropical hillside vegetation, calm blue-green water, and a long elevated pier structure.
    An aerial photograph shows a gray rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) or low-profile vessel on open blue ocean water. Three personnel are visible on the vessel alongside numerous bundled packages wrapped in dark material with red markings, consistent with contraband seizure operations. The scene appears to document a law enforcement or military interdiction operation at sea.
