Cutter James (WMSL 754) crew offloads approximately 23,000
pounds of cocaine and approximately 8,800 pounds of
marijuana worth over $400 million at Port Everglades,
Florida. The drugs were confiscated in 11 seizures in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Mexico, Central, and South America, and in the Caribbean Sea.
The Coast Guard's strong
international relationships with key partners like the
United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands enable matched
unity of effort to disrupt transnational criminal
organizations that threaten America and our partners.
