“Our crews will not be withdrawn from the effort to end illegal fishing and trade in the valuable natural resources on the maritime border. We are still dedicated to the implementation of the law of this nation,” said Lieutenant Shane Gunderson, Commander of the Station South Padre Island. “Regardless of the southern border or along the naval border line in the US Gulf, the coastal guard will discover, distract and intertwine the illegal activity that threatens the sovereignty of our country and territorial integrity.”
