The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Midgett (WMSL 757) boards a fishing vessel to conduct a law enforcement boarding to ensure compliance with international fisheries regulations and counter illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing in the Pacific Ocean, April 27, 2020. Midgett's crew protected U.S. fisheries by patrolling the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) surrounding Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, and Palmyra Atoll. This action ensured U.S. presence to assure U.S. sovereignty and resource security in these remote regions. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by USCGC Midgett/Released)
