Petty Officer 1st Class Michael Midgette, a maritime enforcement specialist assigned to Coast Guard Cutter Midgett (WMSL 757) and Kemi Gati, a Papua New Guinea (PNG) fisheries officer, prepare for a boarding on the 26-foot over-the-horizon cutter boat in PNG’s exclusive economic zone, Mar. 11, 2025. A secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific requires working closely with committed partners such as Papua New Guinea to promote maritime governance through an international rules-based order.
