The USCGC Sequoia (WLB-215) crew conduct a near month-long patrol of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean to deter illegal fishing of highly migratory fish stocks such as tuna and build relationships with Pacific island nations in late August and September 2016. Sequoia's crew patrolled more than 3,970 miles over 25 days and conducted 14 at-sea boardings, resulting in the reporting of 11 potential Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention violations to the applicable flag states for further investigation and enforcement.
