The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Midgett (WMSL 757) launches their small boat with a boarding team to conduct law enforcement boardings to ensure compliance with international fisheries regulations and counter illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing in the Pacific Ocean, April 23, 2020. Patrolling over 7,118 square nautical miles (8,191 statute miles), the Midgett's law enforcement team boarded seven commercial foreign-flagged fishing vessels. The boardings verified compliance with WCPFC conservation management measures and specifications for the marking and identification of fishing vessels. They conducted 15 additional sightings and vessel queries. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by USCGC Midgett/Released)
