Lt. Nathan Thavaran of the Papua New Guinea Defence Force takes a moment for a photo while on a fisheries boarding aboard a People’s Republic of China-flagged fishing vessel during a combined patrol on Sept. 1, 2023, in the Coral Sea off Papua New Guinea. The U.S. Coast Guard was in Papua New Guinea at the invitation of the PNG government to join their lead in maritime operations to combat illegal fishing and safeguard marine resources following the recent signing and ratification of a bilateral maritime law enforcement agreement between the United States and Papua New Guinea.
