A Coast Guard Sector/Air Station Corpus Christi HC-144 Ocean Sentry captures imagery of a lancha near South Padre Island, Texas, on Sept. 30, 2021. Lanchas pose a major threat, usually entering the United States Exclusive Economic Zone near the U.S.-Mexico border in the Gulf of Mexico with the intent to smuggle people, drugs, or poach the United States' natural resources.
