Coast Guard law enforcement crews detected and interdicted a Mexican lancha boat crew engaged in illegal fishing in federal waters off southern Texas recently.

"However, this is more than a natural resource issue. This is a sovereignty issue, and we will continue to staunchly protect our Exclusive Economic Zone." Coast Guard Sector/Air Station Corpus Christi has detected 20 lanchas, eight of which were prevented, that was north of the U.S.-Mexico maritime border since Oct. 1, 2017.
